[Intro] [Verse] Blackened skies where whispers collide Angels scream Demons hide Chessboard cracks under the weight Pawns of fire Kings of fate A bishop prays with a blade in hand Knights ride hard through ashen lands Queens of light with crowns that burn The board spins slow Worlds overturn [Prechorus] Who plays this game Who sets the rules Who moves the pieces Who wields the tools [Chorus] The battle of light and shadows Is the battleboard of tomorrow Clashing in the silence Raging through the night One square forward One square back Eternal war on the checkered black [Verse 2] A rook falls The heavens shake Each move costs more than we can take Sacred plans written in smoke Holy words that choke Choke Choke The devil laughs from the cornerβs edge An angelβs tears fall They form a wedge Between the dark Between the glow An endless fight No victor shows [Break] [Chorus] The battle of light and shadows Is the battleboard of tomorrow Clashing in the silence Raging through the night One square forward One square back Eternal war on the checkered black [Solo] [Verse 3] A king shrouds his thoughts in mystery Banners fly History's blisters Beneath the moon, secrets unfold Lost voices speak Prophecies told A pawn steps forth upon the stage With courage bound, it breaks its cage Rising above the night's dread call Hope stands tall The dark will fall [Chorus] The battle of light and shadows Is the battleboard of tomorrow Clashing in the silence Raging through the night One square forward One square back Eternal war on the checkered black [Break] [Outro] Who plays this game Who sets the rules Who moves the pieces Who wields the tools
