The Zugzwang King

### **Title: Zugzwang King** *(Verse 1)* In the heart of Memphis, where the kings and pawns collide, There’s a legend ‘bout a master who can't be denied. NM Graham sits down with a glint in his eye, At the Memphis Chess Club, where the games never die. *(Pre-Chorus)* The board is set, the pieces poised, A silence falls, no room for noise. With every move, he’s got the plan, He’s the Zugzwang King, the man with the master hand. *(Chorus)* Zugzwang, you’re caught in his web, No escape, you’re at the edge. Every move you make, just digs the grave, NM Graham’s power, you can’t outplay. *(Verse 2)* The knights are jumping, the bishops cross, Opponents sweating, counting the loss. But Graham’s calm, like a storm’s eye, He sees the future, knows you’re gonna cry. *(Pre-Chorus)* The board is tight, the clock ticks down, You’re trapped, can’t help but frown. With every check, he’s sealing fate, The Zugzwang King’s gonna checkmate. *(Chorus)* Zugzwang, you’re caught in his web, No escape, you’re at the edge. Every move you make, just digs the grave, NM Graham’s power, you can’t outplay. *(Bridge)* In the final moments, you’re paralyzed, No move left, but to realize, He’s the master of the endless game, In Memphis, Graham’s the name. *(Chorus)* Zugzwang, you’re caught in his web, No escape, you’re at the edge. Every move you make, just digs the grave, NM Graham’s power, you can’t outplay. *(Outro)* So if you dare to challenge the Zugzwang King, Remember this when the chess bells ring. In the game of minds, where the strong survive, NM Graham’s legend will always thrive. Zugzwang, Zugzwang, you’re caught in his game, At the Memphis Chess Club, it’s all the same.
