Pawn

[Verse 1]
It looked like destruction at the break of dawn
When one pawn jumped a knight, turned and screamed
"C'mon!"
The rooks jumped back as he attacked the castles
The bishops acted too casual as Pawn broke the actual
Moving uncontrollably, swarming the board
Slashing axes, hatchets, knives, daggers and swords
Furiously forward, his momentum was growin'
He's not aware of the rules he's broken 'cause he never chose to know them
Overflowing with passion, having to have action
Battling to the end of the board
Just to turn and battle back again
Ask a friend
'Cause everybody knows one
One pawn who won't stop

[Hook]
Some gotta start
Some gotta be a part of starting things
Some cats are hearts
Some cats are veins
(2x)

[Verse 2]
Pawn's battered and bleeding
Badly beaten, sadly treated to treason
Dragging back to even, still can't see retreating
Bloodied and battered, utterly savage
Ugly and back sagging, suddenly saddened is the attack addict
He's back at it!
Overflowing omens without knowing where he's going
Only led, only stolen by what's shown him
Forever roaming
Never homing in on nothing
But he's gotta turn this sight into something

[Hook]
Some gotta start
Some gotta be a part of starting things
Some cats are hearts
Some cats are veins
Some gotta start
Some gotta be a part of starting things
Some cats surf
Some cats make the waves

[Verse 3]
The mist lifts, his hands still clenched in a fist
Teeth grit, neck twists, to look for who's coming next
But there's none left, all around Pawn's surrounded by death
Save for a king kneeling down in respect
He's a loose cannon, but he's still standing
Gripping his weapon, checking position
Wondering when he'll need to move again
He's a dead end if the battle ever ceases
He's going for broke and just hoping he can put back all the pieces
Wondering if it's over, but knowing is all that he knows
Knowing is the only thing that grows inside his soul
Only his foes can show him what he's got
And he knows he's nothing if the match ever stops

[Hook]
Some gotta start
Some gotta be a part of starting things
Some cats are hearts
Some cats are veins
Some gotta start
Some gotta be a part of starting things
Some cats surf
And some cats make the waves
