16 Queens Songtext
von Eye On Attraction

The game is over, I have found a home
What we have done could not be done alone
I have never noticed there were sixteen queens
Against the pawn, what a grisly scene
The hours flew by, the seconds crawled on
We looked at each other as we sang the song
At last, at last, the labels are gone
The king of our world, this lowly pawn

Don′t be a rolling stone
Wander through life alone
Don't let it pass you by
Carve some wings and fly
Open your mouth and speak
Your tongue will lash the meek
We′re all prepared to teach
Now practice what you preach
Close your eyes and look inside
You know that you can't hide


'Cause times have come and times will go
After twenty-some odd years
There′s just one thing that I know
Remember who you are
No matter where you go
For the king is still a pawn to those
Who never thought they′d see the day
That he would reach the throne
We have found our way home
To where it all began

We work for love alone
Together we will stand

Down by the willow tree
I saw a younger me
Sit and watch a widow make
Tears, tears for her namesake
I didn't know its worth
That scene that gave the birth
To a lasting memory
′Til this day I carry
We all have secrets we forever seek
This is my destiny


'Cause times have come and times will go
After twenty-some odd years
There′s just one thing that I know
Remember who you are
No matter where you go
For the king is still a pawn to those
Who never thought they'd see the day
That he would reach the throne
We have found our way home
To where it all began

We work for love alone
Together we will stand

′Cause times have come and times have gone
Once a mighty king, again a lowly pawn
For he is far too old, too weak to carry on
For the pawn is still a king to those
Who never thought they'd see the day
That he'd give up the throne

We have found our way home
To where it all began
We work for love alone
Together we will stand
