Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the shadows, where the whispers lie,
A naive heart learns to survive and pry,
In the game of kings, you either lose or win,
Street lights flicker, let the chaos begin.

[VERSE 1]
He was just a dreamer, chasing skies so blue,
With the heart of a child, but the streets had a view.
Books of war talk lessons in disguise,
Sun Tzu's wisdom hidden in the lies.
“Know your enemy,” he heard it loud and clear,
But love's a battlefield, now he’s living in fear.

[CHORUS]
In the chess of life, there's a price to pay,
With each move made, your soul goes astray.
Beneath the velvet night, the truth revealed,
Betrayal cuts deep, but strength is concealed.

[VERSE 2]
She walked like a queen, in the moonlight's glare,
Eyes like daggers, his heart caught unaware.
She danced in shadows, and the danger was sweet,
Yet power and love can be the deadliest feat.
“Never outshine the master,” the rules he forgot,
Now wrapped in her charm, in a perilous plot.

[CHORUS]
In the chess of life, there's a price to pay,
With each move made, your soul goes astray.
Beneath the velvet night, the truth revealed,
Betrayal cuts deep, but strength is concealed.

[BRIDGE]
Grit and grace collide under a smoky haze,
Lessons learned, in this twisted maze.
Survival’s an art—he finally sees,
Even beauty can wield the sharpest of keys.

[VERSE 3]
But the tides have turned, hearts become cold,
The kiss of betrayal is a story retold.
From the corridors of power to the streets filled with pain,
Trust lies in pieces, like the drops of the rain.
In a world where the ruthless are kings of the game,
He’ll rise from the ashes, for he knows the name.

[CHORUS]
In the chess of life, there's a price to pay,
With each move made, your soul goes astray.
Beneath the velvet night, the truth revealed,
Betrayal cuts deep, but strength is concealed.
