[Verse] On a night that's black and cold A chessboard bathed in eerie gold The Halloween Gambit takes a stand In this ghostly game unplanned [Verse 2] The bishop strikes through shadow lands Knight and rook make their demands Creeping pawns move in the dark Silent whispers leave their mark [Chorus] Haunted gambit's in the air Spooky moves without a care Checkmate whispers in the night Phantom pieces play the fight [Verse 3] Underneath the moon’s cold glare Queen advances through the scare Haunted game of ancient lore Every move unlocks the door [Bridge] Spectral hands will guide the way Ghastly players in the fray At each turn the shadows bend To the game that has no end [Chorus] Haunted gambit's in the air Spooky moves without a care Checkmate whispers in the night Phantom pieces play the fight
