Mr Peter Ekvall - The Last Pawn Lyrics

The board is set the pieces laid
A game that starts at break of day
The kings they watch the knights they ride
Across a land where shadows hide
The bishops preach the rooks take aim
A war that echoes through the flame
But in the end it's not the strong-
It's the silent march of the last pawn

From city streets to battle cries
A nation's tears a mother's eyes
The lines are drawn but can't you see?
There's more than chess beneath this sea

Move by move the board is torn
A broken land a night reborn
But the last pawn marches on
The last pawn marches on

From Kyiv's heart to Donetsk's fields
A flag of blue and yellow shields
The queen defends the castle burns
But tides can shift and tables turn
The pawns arise the weak unite
Their strength revealed in darkest night
And as the tyrant dreams of thrones
The final move is set in stone

But in the hands of those who dare
The last pawn stands the last pawn cares
The knights are gone the bishops flee
The last pawn moves to victory

Move by move the board is torn
A broken land a night reborn
But the last pawn marches on
The last pawn marches on

The tyrant thought he'd rule it all
But even empires fall
The final breath the game is done
The last pawn stands and freedom's won
A flag of blue a land reborn
And Russia fades in broken dawn

Move by move the board is torn
A broken land a night reborn
But the last pawn marches on
The last pawn marches on
