16 Queens by Eye on Attraction Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The game is over I have
Found a home
What we have done cannot be
Done alone
I have never noticed there were
16 queens
Against a pawn, what a
Grisly scene
The hours flew by
The seconds crawled on
We looked at each other
As we sang this song
At last, at last
The labels are gone
The king of the world is
Lowly
Pawn
Don't be a rolling stone
Wander through life alone
Don't let it pass you by
Carve some wings and fly
Open your mouth and speak
Your tongue will lash the meek
We're all prepared to teach
Now practice what you preach
Close your eyes and look
Inside you know that you can't hide
[Chorus]
'Cause times have come
And times will go
After twenty-some odd years
There's just one thing that I know
Remember who you are
No matter where you go
For the king is still a pawn to those
Who never thought they'd see the day
That he would reach the throne
We have found our way home
To where it all began
We work for love alone
Together we will stand
[Verse 2]
Down by the willow tree I saw a younger me
Sit and watch the widow make
Tears, tears for her namesake
I didn't know its worth
That scene that gave the birth
To a lasting memory to this day I carry
We all have secrets we
Forever seek
This is my destiny
[Chorus]
'Cause times have come
And times will go
After twenty-some odd years
There's just one thing that I know
Remember who you are
No matter where you go
For the king is still a pawn to those
Who never thought they'd see the day
That he would reach the throne
We have found our way home
To where it all began
We work for love alone
Together we will stand
[Chorus]
'Cause times have come
And times have gone
Once a mighty king
Again a lowly pawn
For he is far too old
Too weak to carry on
But the pawn is still a king to those
Who never thought they'd see the day
That he gave up the throne
We have found our way home
To where it all began
We work for love alone
Together we will stand
The game is over I have
Found a home
What we have done cannot be
Done alone
I have never noticed there were
16 queens
Against a pawn, what a
Grisly scene
The hours flew by
The seconds crawled on
We looked at each other
As we sang this song
At last, at last
The labels are gone
The king of the world is
Lowly
Pawn
Don't be a rolling stone
Wander through life alone
Don't let it pass you by
Carve some wings and fly
Open your mouth and speak
Your tongue will lash the meek
We're all prepared to teach
Now practice what you preach
Close your eyes and look
Inside you know that you can't hide
[Chorus]
'Cause times have come
And times will go
After twenty-some odd years
There's just one thing that I know
Remember who you are
No matter where you go
For the king is still a pawn to those
Who never thought they'd see the day
That he would reach the throne
We have found our way home
To where it all began
