Shah Mat Lyrics


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

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
