THE HOURGLASS FEATURING JON OLIVA AND ZAK STEVENS lyrics : "Play The Pawn"

Play The Pawn
A land of black and white known since the dawn of time
The wisdom of the centuries is carved by a sacred hand

"the world is full of kings and queens that blind your eyes
And steal ur dreams"*


Like parallel lines the two extremes can never meet
White pawns moving forward dying on ur colored screens
The world is watching, history this moment is writing


Bishops are gathering
Knights are raging

The castles are burning
The queen calling


Play the pawn at the gates of dawn
Guardians of our home have turned to our doom


heroes are calling, the whites are now ruling
chairs and thunder, fall and rumble. take ur final breath
Checkmate is the black king, he thought that he could win


This is not a board game
Not money or fame

This is the sun who will kill the night
"They'll tell you black but its really white"


Play the pawn at the gates of dawn
Guardians of our home have turned to our doom


Suddenly it appeared to him, they're all attached to long strings
The players are much bigger, close this chapter and forget what's better



Bishops have gathered and the knights have raged
The castles have burned and the queen is dead



Play the pawn at the gates of dawn

Guardians of our home, play now the pawn
