The Game - Red Flag

Rook takes knight, knight takes pawn

Let the game begin

Your only move, a quick retreat

Because I won’t give in

I’ll hold you at arms length

Though I’ll never show my strength

I am king, you are queen

There’s a space in between

I am here you are there

It’s our love I declare

You’re the day in my night

I stand on black, you stand on white

And there’s a move I will take

It’s our love that’s at stake

It’s a game, it’s a game

Now can’t you see that you’ve been overthrown

Your defense has gone and you stand all alone

I’ll hold you in my sight, it’s your surrender I’ll invite

Should I captivate or abdicate

Should I calculate or complicate

Should I concentrate or formulate

Or anticipate a stalemate

One final move, checkmate

I am king, you are queen

There’s a space in between

I am here you are there

It’s our love I declare
