The Black Rook
In solitude I stand
Grasping life with my hand
Watching out the strategies that were planned
Forever I shall last
In my body of clast
Rock solid thoughts build up from concrete past
All the chessboard is what the tower sees
Delusioned pawns who will fall on their knees
Chorus:
Black Rook, I have become a Black Rook, living apart
Look, look, the castle that I am
Black Rook, I have become a Black Rook, living apart
Look, look, the stones inside the man
All knights die by the sword
All bishops are unheard
For empty battles all imbeciles gird
Dark kingdoms built on grime
Queens worthless than a dime
I witness filthy schemes from time to time
I did the castling for a thousand kings
I carried the weight of a thousand stings
Black Rook, I have become a Black Rook, living apart
Look, look, the castle that I am
Black Rook, I have become a Black Rook, living apart
Look, look, the stones inside the man
I cast myself away
From this bad-tasted play
Depraved humanity in disarray
I am panoptical
I am perpetual
Unreacheable tower with no portal
The distant castle sees crowns fade away
Sad memories to remember and portray
Black Rook, I have become a Black Rook, living apart
Look, look, the castle that I am
Black Rook, I have become a Black Rook, living apart
Look, look, the stones inside the man
