Theo Nightshade - Silent Knight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Late night moves on the ivory board
Calculated steps, can't afford
To let my guard down, show my hand
Silent tactics, understand
Every piece has its own dance
But the knight, he takes his chance

[Chorus]
Silent Knight, moving through the dark
Two steps forward, one to the side
Breaking patterns, leaving my mark
Got my own way to ride
Silent Knight, in this game of life
Making moves they can't predict
Always keeping my soul uptight
That's how I keep my spirit lit

[Verse 2]
Jazz club wisdom taught me well
Keep it cool, don't kiss and tell
Like Miles Davis, birth of cool
Breaking rules, ain't no fool
Smooth as bourbon, sharp as brass
Watch me glide across this glass

[Bridge]
They try to box me in
But I move diagonal, yeah
Can't define my spin
My path's unconventional, baby

[Verse 3]
City lights reflect my mind
Strategic moves, one of a kind
Like Coltrane's sheets of sound
I keep my feelings underground
Every step's a calculated risk
Moving through this urban mist

[Chorus]
Silent Knight, moving through the dark
Two steps forward, one to the side
Breaking patterns, leaving my mark
Got my own way to ride
Silent Knight, in this game of life
Making moves they can't predict
Always keeping my soul uptight
That's how I keep my spirit lit

[Outro]
Check and mate, but the game ain't done
Silent Knight, yeah, I'm the one
Moving through these urban squares
With calculated flair
Cool and distant, that's my art
Playing chess with my own heart
