Annihilator - Knight Jumps Queen Lyrics






Good evening and welcome to a test of the minds
This match begins as our thoughts begin to grind
I send a pawn towards you, a subtle piece of my attack
Pondering the next move, I guess you'll never know unless you try it

Knight jumps queen if you know what I mean
Anticipation of the final scene
Knight jumps queen, so get prepared
For this checkmate has been happily declared
As the knight jumps the queen

You have made selections, a white castle crumbles at your feet
To Counter the men in black, your moves must all be elite
A bishop takes a rook and this cuts him down to size
This is no tailor-made situation
I guess I have some real competition for once

Knight jumps queen if you know what I mean
Anticipation of the final scene
Knight jumps queen, so get prepared
For this checkmate has been happily declared
As the knight jumps the queen

Hours and hours to a stalemate, this game has come to a close
Could it end without a climax betwwen to exhausted foes
Night-time's falling on the castle, it's bringing in another day
The concentration was impossible, I never had a doubt I wouldn't win it from you

Knight jumps queen if you know what I mean
Anticipation of the final scene
Knight jumps queen, so get prepared
For this checkmate has been happily declared
As the knight jumps the queen

    You gotta love playing chess while listening to this masterpiece!

  22. J.... A....

    I'm still trying to figure out how I overlooked Jeff Waters in the 80s. But I know why every time I went to the record store in the 80s to buy something new (and usually never heard of) that the slot for Annihilator was always empty. Jeff Waters my friends, Jeff Waters. Thanks for the download my friend

    Such AN AWESOME SONG!!!!

  37. C.... B....

    I've loved this album for years, and to this day, I'm amazed at how clever the wordplay is in this one...

    C.... B....

    +CHRISTOPHER BOIVIN (AKA PUNKI BOVINE) i know what you mean ;)

    C.... B....

    i try to be clever when i write my lyrics, so i can truly appreciate what they did here, but actually they do it all over place even allison hell is a pretty good play on words :D

  38. V.... R....

    HERÄTKÄÄ!!!!!!!

    V.... R....

    I don't know what that means but it sounds cool.

    V.... R....

    Google translator says "Wake up."

  39. S.... A....

    Wish Jeff's solos were as memorable (and high in the mix) as this nowadays. The past two CDs have been good but the solos totally forgettable.

  40. z.... l....

  41. P.... H....

  45. R.... S....

    best song of annihilator.

    R.... S....

    Sounds more like 21 mixed with pastor of disaster, still a fucking awesome song

    R.... S....

    knight jumps queen came before those you mentioned, that's why is better.

    R.... S....

    @PSR It is the same riff as 21. That's what I meant instead of King of the Kill.

    R.... S....

    alison hell all the way

    R.... S....

    Knights Jumps Queen , Pastor of disaster , second to none and 21 🤘

  46. S.... F....

    This song sounds allot Toxic Waltz by Exodus

    S.... F....

    Steel Fury no

  47. a.... ....

    I can imagine his expression when he says "Your moves must aaallll be elite!"

  48. d.... 5....

    good lyrics, excellent guitar. woof woof.

  49. B.... D....

    It's Mike Mangini on drums. WOW

    B.... D....

  50. J.... S....

    Flipante!!!!!

  51. S.... J....

    #Annihilator- "Knight Jumps Queen"        \>  sj~13                    #THRASH/SPEED METAL    

  52. C.... E....

    Este tema es terrible, siempre que lo escucho me dan unas ganas de pogear y paran con la cantidad de veces que lo escucho-..!

  53. T.... ....

    Totally playing this song on repeat next time I play chess

    T.... ....

    I'll be watching your knights. ;)

    T.... ....

    Not recommended ;)

  54. A.... B....

    THIS IS METAL

    A.... B....

    @V8Soarer92 WOW DONT LIE?!

    A.... B....

    A Bloke on a TRX 🤘

  55. I.... m....

    Diz only my fave song of them

  56. I.... m....

    Ayyeeaaaahhh screamm

  57. J.... S....

    Thrash ass metal

  58. L.... G....

    Jeff kinda recicled the riff for 21 huh?

  59. W.... 1....

    Can't believe the black veil brides have an album called "Set the world on fire". This should be the only one called like that.

  60. N.... B....

    They are both sick songs in their own way. The bass is very similar though.

  61. L.... T....

    Thrashened Chess Metal

  62. t.... ....

    One person doesn't know how to play chess.

  63. D.... M....

    Sorry my bad. I need to get some glasses.

  64. L.... ....

    Idc this is better

  65. L.... ....

    I'm pretty sure that's Jeff Waters

  66. L.... Z....

    love the bass riff on this song. Jeff Waters playing is flawless as always.

  67. c.... ....

    Thanks a lot Master !!!!

  68. P.... N....

    badass! like trial by fire from testament though :P

  69. E.... T....

    look...i like annihilator...i see them live in greece...very good band..but this song remind me testament...i cant change that...

  70. D.... H....

    Are you drunk, retarded, deaf, or all three?

  71. E.... T....

    yes...differend lyrics.

  72. E.... T....

    Testament - Trial By Fire

  73. H.... D....

    Annihilator were saying "if you know what I mean" before it was cool!

  74. J.... ....

    If I had his voice, I'd never shut up.

  75. G.... S....

    f**k me I'm in love with this song

  76. M.... B....

    It's about playing chess, most popular board game. Vocalist mentions all chess figures throughout the song except king; It describes one situation while playing chess. 'knight jumps queen' or knight(horse shaped figure) attacks and 'eat' queen- the most powerful chess figure. Lose the queen and you'll lose the match baby :D

  77. k.... ....

    FUCK YEAH

  78. D.... ....

    whats teh meaning of this song

  79. a.... ....

    :if you know what i mean:

  80. D.... ....

    And the knight humps the queen

  81. N.... ....

    2:21 - 2:27 fucking genious :D

  82. P.... S....

    Chess had never been so badass :P

  83. c.... ....

    Awesome song!! Heavy metal 4ever!

  84. i.... ....

    hell yeah!
