The Dance of Ruy Lopez

[Verse] In a game we start to play With the Ruy Lopez way Pieces move in rhythmic sway Dance until the break of day [Verse] Knights and bishops on the board Strategy our silent chord We advance without a word The opening is our reward [Chorus] Feel the fire on the squares tonight In the Berlin Endgame's quiet light Marshall Gambit takes a fearless flight This is where we claim our right [Verse] One move forward then retreat Each pawn's step a subtle beat With each ripple tension's heat Memory of past defeats [Verse] Castles stand upon high ground Rooks and queens they circle round Every whisper makes a sound In this silence truth is found [Chorus] Feel the fire on the squares tonight In the Berlin Endgame's quiet light Marshall Gambit takes a fearless flight This is where we claim our right
