about

One of the few that didn't go through all that many changes! Small vocasl parts and an alternating solo ending but, aside from that, little in the way of major structural edits!

lyrics

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

Never underestimate
The power of your attacks
Stand with shoulders broad against what once possessed

Strike down your enemies until you stand last
Ignore distant fictions like future and past
What lies is this moment that changes your fate
Now ready your stance and fight until checkmate

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

Where rust may meet an iron will
And rain corrupts a steel glow
Attack to draw first blood and don't think twice

Strike down your enemies until you stand last
Ignore distant fictions like future and past
What lies is this moment that changes your fate
Now ready your stance and fight 'til checkmate

Synapse flare and eyes are locked
Upon the void we built
Jaded glare of future sight
With both hands on the hilt

Strength to strength we will demand
The weight falls by my hand

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
Now ready your stance and fight until checkmate
