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'
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

Some gotta start
Some gotta be a part of starting things
Some cats are hearts
Some cats are veins

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

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

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
Cause...

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
