The Rook and the Knight
I have her Rook
She has my Knight
From the chessboard we played
Since she was a little girl
I have her Rook
She gave it to me
To remember her
To remember
She has my Knight
I gave it to her
To keep me close
To keep...
The chessboard is in pieces
Incomplete, obsolete
Without her,
Without me
The Rook and the Knight
The Rook...
A cruel joke, is it?
A tower, so small
In the palm of my hand
A tower, so tall
It reaches the sky
And Alice, my Alice
Trapped in them both:
Literally and in a memory
It's a cruel fate thrust upon a child
She longs to be free and live among the wild
My child, my Alice
Am I not a good father?
I'll find a way, I promise
I'll find a way
But as long as
I have her Rook
And she has my Knight —
The Knight...
A cruel joke, is it?
A protector
A warrior
A knight in shining armor
And I, my Alice
I've failed to keep you armored
It's a cruel fate, this poisoned heart
But I'll be damned if it keeps us apart
My love, my Alice
Have faith in your father
I'll find a way, I promise
I'll find a way, my Alice
The chessboard will be complete
When the Knight and the Rook would finally meet...
But until then
I have her Rook
Until then
She has my Knight
From the chessboard we played
I will find a way
