🎵 Song Lyrics

Lyrics

One move a turn, just enough to draw,
A single border, a paper war.
Stack it high, don't make a sound,
Let everyone else burn it down.

Eyes on the timer, hands off the map,
Never the first to take a slap.
You call it patience, call it control,
While the board eats itself whole.

You're not losing ground, you're losing time,
Watching battles you never fight.
Every silence, every pause,
Feels deliberate, feels rehearsed.

Card and pass, card and pass,
One small move, then build your mass.
While the rest all take the risk,
You just wait and check the list.

Card and pass, night to night,
Master rank without the fight.
Tell me what that title's worth,
When you never leave your turf.

Classic caps, the same old stage,
Hours tick by, you never engage.
Pocket trades behind the cap,
Two get rich in a closed-off map.

Cards keep flowing, one can't play,
Starved of turns and left to fade.
Someone's blocked, someone's stuck,
Time and access set you up.
Silver shine but the edge is thin,
When waiting's how you always win.

Try that plan on a wider field,
See what bigger maps reveal.
When the borders stretch and spread,
There's nowhere left to play pretend.

Card and pass, card and pass,
Climbing ranks by standing still.
Leader board at half a mile,
Paid in hours, not in skill.

Card and pass, drain the room,
Time vampire in a velvet suit.
Tell me who you're proving right,
When patience is your only fight.

Burn the clock when you're behind,
Turn disadvantage into time.
Not brilliance, not the crown,
Just who stayed seated longest down.

Card and pass, card and pass,
Master name in shining glass.
But when the map gets big and loud,
You fade back into the crowd.

Card and pass, call it fate,
Call it smart, call it late.
At the top, alone at last.
Was it worth the card and pass?
