about

The song that underwent the most drastic change. Dan brings this slow, trudging, heavier sounding song and the first thing we all thought?

"Yeah it's not fast enough."

Twenty minutes later we have a song! About chess probably. And war!! This is the third one for the quota mentioned in the earlier war tunes. If you're stuck identifying them, they have war in their name... just so you don't forget love...

lyrics

Start the clock and take your turn
Think wise before you make your moves
Make your first strike as deadly as the last

Never underestimate
The power of your attacks
Fight with the heart and mind of an iconoclast

Strike down your enemies until you stand last
Ignore distant fictions like future and past
What lies is this moment that changes your fate
Condemn them to ruin, submit to checkmate

Hatred fuels the strategy but
One false move and you fall down and
The risk you take is never worth the price

An unrelenting, merciless force
You must become to end this game
Stand as strong as steel; you need not sacrifice

Strike down your enemies until you stand last
Ignore distant fictions like future and past
What lies is this moment that changes your fate
Condemn them to ruin, submit to checkmate

Take your hoard
Control the board
With no shame as you choose
The start of war
They hit the floor
With no shame as you lose

Shattered stone
Will stand alone
As we show no repent
Make them bow
Surrender now or
To hell you shall be sent

Strike down your enemies until you stand last
Ignore distant fictions like future and past
What lies is this moment that changes your fate
Condemn them to ruin, submit to your hate
Strike down your enemies until you stand last
Ignore distant fictions like future and past
What lies is this moment that changes your fate
Condemn them to ruin, submit to checkmate
