Lo! Sixteen soldiers in two rows,
the war will start when white Pawn goes...
I see you creeping with your knight,
upon this field of black and white.

 

My Bishop's ugly and so mean,
now watch him take your lovely Queen...
The future's dim, no longer bright,
upon this field of black and white.

 

Lo! Castle now to save your King,
watch for the hell twin Rooks will bring...
You're in check, victory's in sight,
upon this field of black and white.

 

Soldiers are scattered from this fight,
upon this field of black and white!
