Black Pawn Lyrics

Black Pawn

so now your back, you want to fight again
no mercy me 'cause I already know your game
I know why you're here you want to see me slain
four thousand years it's been the same

feeling tired , feeling numb
how could I have been so dumb
I let you in under my skin
to be ditched and left alone
I see fire in the sky
you turn me down, I wonder why
one day revenge will be all mine
until then I'll walk alone

for a second time you're coming on again
your faithful pawns working hard to drive me insane
try to keep my head high in times of rain
drying my tears now trying to cover up the pain

Black Pawn

so now your back, you want to fight again
no mercy me 'cause I already know your game 
I know why you're here you want to see me slain
four thousand years it's been the same

feeling tired , feeling numb
how could I have been so dumb
I let you in under my skin
to be ditched and left alone 
I see fire in the sky
you turn me down, I wonder why
one day revenge will be all mine
until then I'll walk alone

for a second time you're coming on again
your faithful pawns working hard to drive me insane
try to keep my head high in times of rain
drying my tears now trying to cover up the pain

feeling tired , feeling numb
how could I have been so dumb
I let you in under my skin
to be ditched and left alone 
I see fire in the sky
you turn me down, I wonder why
one day revenge will be all mine
until then I'll walk alone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I'm not joking, but everyone who knows that author is religious person, gonna guess that it's probably about devil's temptation :) The more ordinary explanation is about fight with old enemy...but isn't the Evil the old enemy of Good? Anyway, pawn and chess makes me thinking about Bergman's movie ''Det Sjunde inseglet'', where the main character is playing chess with Death. Maybe it's the right way?
