Black Pawn
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
so now your back, you want to fight again
no mercy me 'cause I already know your game
I know why you're here you want to see me slain
four thousand years it's been the same
feeling tired, feeling numb
how could I have been so dumb
I let you in under my skin
to be ditched and left alone
I see fire in the sky
you turn me down, I wonder why
one day revenge will be all mine
until then I'll walk alone
for a second time you're coming on again
your faithful pawns working hard to drive me insane
try to keep my head high in times of rain
drying my tears now trying to cover up the pain
feeling tired, feeling numb
how could I have been so dumb
I let you in under my skin
to be ditched and left alone
I see fire in the sky
you turn me down, I wonder why
one day revenge will be all mine
until then I'll walk alone
feeling tired, feeling numb
how could I have been so dumb
I let you in under my skin
to be ditched and left alone
I see fire in the sky
you turn me down, I wonder why
one day revenge will be all mine
until then I'll walk alone
