Black blood and risky business High affairs that never see the sun Cold steel and loaded pistols Someone's got to see the work gets done When the black knight moves, you can taste the trouble in the air You can hear the city talking like it doesn't care Between the darkness and the light, somebody's will gets done tonight Before the black knight moves again, you better not be there Back streets and lonely places Where you do the kind of things you do Black cloaks and hidden faces When we gonna get a look at you? When the black knight moves, you can feel the darkness coming on You can hear the city hide itself away till dawn Between the knife edge and the skin, maybe you'll see the fix go in Before the black knight moves again, you better be long gone No words, you keep your silence People talk in whispers where you are I hear the sounds of violence Tell me, brother, where'd you get those scars? When the black knight moves, you can feel a chill across the board
You can hear the city asking what it's looking for Between the living and the dead, you just might see a flash of red Before the black knight moves again, you better see no more You're a man who knows his business You can see the master plan And you play your own position You're the instrumental man Would the whole world come down crashing Would the highborn fall as well If you kick the table over, send the pieces all to Hell? Dark deeds and secret matters You can fix it but it doesn't last Bright flash, the mirror shatters Who's reflected in the broken gla**? When the black knight moves, you can feel a hand disturb the game You can hear the city asking for the white pawn's name When the black knight moves, you can feel a hand disturb the game You can hear the city asking for the white pawn's name Between the black squares and the white, there's gonna be a sacrifice tonight Before the black knight moves again, you better do the same
