3. Shah Mat (4:08)
Temperature falls, soon the hills are frozen
The pawns and the noble alike must bow
The gates to the north availed in blue
Warm is the ring hidden in my hand
Turned has the flow and the sides are chosen
We've bent the rules till they all were broken
Bonfire warming the cooling hearts
the game we've played ain't over yet
So take your time
As no-one's gonna win tonight
You can see me in the dark
Hidden on the lighter side, on frozen land
I will thrive, now make your move
While unfrozen, there is but one thing
You seem to make your own rules
Why my every move's a sacrifice
How to end this game without letting it go
Snow falls, the frozen leaves are left behind
Tattered on the mound
Every time we move one piece,
We lose one way to a common ground
Walking away with a sense of reason
Feels like a victory, tastes like treason
We're in a stalemate, you call a resolve
The easiest thing in the world, being difficult
Away,
Gone is the golden day
Clear the table for the new
Maybe you can write yourself the roles anew
And one day, someone lets you
Take your time
Maybe you will find your rhyme
And embrace light in your life
Queen of the dark, with me you're out of time
Out of time, this game, dead, futile
The pawns and the noble alike must bow
The gates to the north availed in blue
Warm is the ring hidden in my hand
Turned has the flow and the sides are chosen
We've bent the rules till they all were broken
Bonfire warming the cooling hearts
the game we've played ain't over yet
So take your time
As no-one's gonna win tonight
You can see me in the dark
Hidden on the lighter side, on frozen land
I will thrive, now make your move
While unfrozen, there is but one thing
You seem to make your own rules
Why my every move's a sacrifice
How to end this game without letting it go
Snow falls, the frozen leaves are left behind
Tattered on the mound
Every time we move one piece,
We lose one way to a common ground
Walking away with a sense of reason
Feels like a victory, tastes like treason
We're in a stalemate, you call a resolve
The easiest thing in the world, being difficult
Away,
Gone is the golden day
Clear the table for the new
Maybe you can write yourself the roles anew
And one day, someone lets you
Take your time
Maybe you will find your rhyme
And embrace light in your life
Queen of the dark, with me you're out of time
Out of time, this game, dead, futile
