The Event Horizon Gambit

[Intro]
[Verse]
Eyes locked in a REM state (Check)
Sliding through the iron gate (Mate)
Nineteen-twenty-seven on the clock
Hear the tick and the heavy knock
Underground where the legends play
Turning midnight into day
Somnambulist on a winning streak
Moving pieces while I’m weak
Found a door in the basement wall
Where the 1920s giants brawl
Clock is ticking in a reverse gear
Smell of cedar and a vintage beer
[Pre-Chorus]
Spacetime is warping thin
Where do the stars begin?
Gravity pulls me back
To the board on the rack
Calculating cosmic math
On the red-shifted path
[Chorus]
O, the forfeit of the light
In the middle of the fight
Red shift in the galaxy
Grandfather watching over me
I gave the game to save his pride
Now I’m on a cosmic ride
[Hook]
(Code Red)
(Time Debt)
(Move the King)
(Let the zither sing)
[Verse]
Sicilian lines in the dark (Move)
Leaving such a heavy mark (Prove)
The space between the atoms grows
Where the heavy sub-bass flows
Event horizons on the board
Sharper than a Viking sword
Illegal move in the third degree
Quantum entanglement for you and me
The arbiter watches with a frozen face
Bending the fabric of time and space
I folded early just to see him smile
Lost my orbit by a million mile
[Bridge]
Steel tongue drums in the air
Ghostly hands in my hair
Slide whistle for the fool
Breaking every single rule
The choir hums a 40s hymn
As the lights begin to dim
Modular synth begins to bloop
Life is just a temporal loop
[Aria]
Luce di stelle, guide my hand
Across the shifting desert sand
The king is fallen, the debt is paid
In the shadow that we made
Spaghettification of the soul
Trying to regain control
[Chorus]
O, the forfeit of the light
In the middle of the fight
Red shift in the galaxy
Grandfather watching over me
I gave the game to save his pride
Now I’m on a cosmic ride
[Verse]
Checkmate in a D-minor key
Finally I am setting free
The boy who let the old man win
Now the real games begin
Time is just a loop of string
Let the zither start to sing
Counterpoint on the 808
I have finally met my fate
No more regret in the deep
Now I can finally sleep
[Outro]
