Annihilator - Knight Jumps Queen lyrics

'A gentleman invites a lady to his castle for a friendly game of chess. To his surprise, she proves to be an excellent opponent with ample experience in this field. The game drives hard into the night, where it finally ends in a draw. However, it looks like they're both winners in the end, if you know what I mean!! This is the first song I'd written (May 1991) for the LP. Crunchy, driving rhythms provide a great backdrop for the 'theatre-like' vocal performance. A fine pair of solos I must say.' Good evening and welcome to a test of the minds This match begins as our thoughts begin to grind I send a pawn towards you, a subtle piece of my attack Pondering the next move, I guess you'll never know unless you try it Knight jumps queen if you know what I mean Anticipation of the final scene Knight jumps queen, so get prepared For this checkmate has been happily declared As the knight jumps the queen You have made selections, a white castle crumbles at your feet To Counter the men in black, your moves must all be elite A bishop takes a rook and this cuts him down to size This is no tailor-made situation I guess I have some real competition for once Knight jumps queen if you know what I mean Anticipation of the final scene Knight jumps queen, so get prepared For this checkmate has been happily declared As the knight jumps the queen Hours and hours to a stalemate, this game has come to a close Could it end without a climax betwwen to exhausted foes Night-time's falling on the castle, it's bringing in another day The concentration was impossible, I never had a doubt I wouldn't win it from you Knight jumps queen if you know what I mean Anticipation of the final scene Knight jumps queen, so get prepared For this checkmate has been happily declared As the knight jumps the queen
