A Game of Chess
So begins the Midnight War
Love's light has flickered out
The rain has begun to pour
The garden grows from doubt
In the moon's soft glow
The white roses stain blood red
My heart stopped beating long ago
So why aren't I dead?
And the Queen has a turned back
As the King gives her a fox's grin
The knight's armor is black
Let the Midnight War begin
The pawns are in place
So begins the grand game
I know your face
But I don't know your name
Lost in the song
Lost in the sounds
The Jester knew all along
The Piper's music bounds
Listen to the crow's lullaby
Will it stop the pain?
Lyrics weave into a blissful lie
Will it stop the rain?
The Queen is blind to the masquerade
As the King wields a silver tongue
And the Knight wields his crimson blade
The Midnight War has begun
We march when the sun flees skies
With loaded guns and hearts of lead
I know the color of your eyes
But I don't know why they looked so dead
We were never to part
But alone I stand
My glass heart
Shattered in your hand
Just another toy to fate
Follow the Piper's song
Through the gate
Nowhere you belong
The Queen's body hits the floor
The King's smile shows he's won
The Knight's sword gleams with gore
The Midnight War rages on
The eternal eclipse
The night never dies
I've kissed your lips
But I've never seen through your lies
I was a mere pawn
Fool to your disguise
And now you're gone
You spared the goodbyes
On your throne you see all
Smiling as you watch the pieces fall
I remember when the day came
That you told me it was a just a game
