[Verse 1]

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'

He's 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

[Hook]

Some gotta start

Some gotta be a part of starting things

Some cats are hearts, some cats are veins

(2x)

[Verse 2]

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

[Hook]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Hook]

Some gotta start

Some gotta be a part of starting things

Some cats are hearts, aome cats are veins

Some gotta start

Some gotta be a part of starting things

Some cats surf, some cats make the waves
