-- Xanatos Speed Chess --

Verse1:
On suunnitelma säädetty
Ja viisitoista varalla
Kilpikonnamuodostelma
viholaisen ovella

Asetelma päätetty
mut melko eri tavalla
Sodan säännöt luettu
mut turhakkeeksi todettu

Rautaportti murtuu
Omatunto turtuu
Tunne en mä armoa kun
näköni sumentuu

Sotakenttä muuttuu
mut haittaa se ei
Myrskymieli tempuinensa
tämän erän vei

se olen minä!

Verse2:
Herald's in the field
and I'm eating your soldiers
Removing the burden of health
from their shoulders

It's all in the cards
and I don't really care
I'm Magnificent Bastard
face me if ya dare

Your plan crumbles
It's all in shambles
Your gamble's a bust
and the chips are lost

Your champion is dead
whimpering as he bled
Whispering for mercy
... which he didn't get

Ha!


Chorus:

The Trickster and The Bastard
walk into a bar
The Joke leads to an all-out war
This tale is coming to its ending

This tournament of speed chess it is on
Until all pineapples finally are gone
Dead horse just needs a bit more beating

Verse3:
On voitontuntosi ennenaikaista
This startin' round was just to test ya
On jokaiseen siirtoosi aina vastaus
Just playing around as a cat with a mouse

Suunnitelmasi kaatuu
Oh, yes, I fooled you
Taistelua ohjaan
And to hell it's gone!

Siirroissa vuoroja edellä mä oon
And now who's celebrating too soon?

chorus

Lusikka laulaa ja pyykkilauta soi!

Siirtosi piirretty suunnittelupöydälle
Toimesi tunnettu tekoja ennen
Myrskyisen mielen syövereissä mielletty
Oletettu ennen askelta

Palaset aseteltu paikoilleen omille
Odottamaan oikeaa vastausta
Ja vaikk' yllätys yksi sun toinenkin tullut
On suunnitelmia muutettu

Luulit Kivikasvon tappaneesi?


Well then... ain't that quaint?
Let's dance...

Translation:

-- Xanatos Speed Chess --

Verse1:
The plan has been made
with fifteen back-ups
Tortoise formation
at the enemy's door

Setting has been set
though in a pretty odd fashion
Rules of War has been read
and discarded as trash

The Iron Gate falls
Conscience goes numb
I know not mercy
as my vision goes to a blur

The war field changes
but it doesn't matter
Storm-mind with his tricks
took this round

That's me!

Verse2:
Herald's in the field
and I'm eating your soldiers
Removing the burden of health
from their shoulders

It's all in the cards
and I don't really care
I'm Magnificent Bastard
face me if ya dare

Your plan crumbles
It's all in shambles
Your gamble's a bust
and the chips are lost

Your champion is dead
whimpering as he bled
Whispering for mercy
... which he didn't get

Ha!


Chorus:

The Trickster and The Bastard
walk into a bar
The Joke leads to an all-out war
This tale is coming to its ending

This tournament of speed chess it is on
Until all pineapples finally are gone
Dead horse just needs a bit more beating

Verse3:
Your victory cheer is premature
This startin' round was just to test ya
For each of your moves, I have an aswer
Just playing around as a cat with a mouse

Your plan is falling
Oh, yes, I fooled you
I guide the combat
And to hell it's gone!

I'm rounds ahead on my moves
And now who's celebrating too soon?

chorus

Spoon sings and the washboard plays!

Your moves are drawn on the planning board
Actions known before the acts
Thought inside a stormy mind
Assumed before the taken step

Pieces have been moved to their places
To wait for the right response
And though there's been a few surprise
The plan has been adjusted

You thought you killed Stoneface?


Well then... ain't that quaint?
Let's dance...
