Two Bishops Aiming at His King

Modern Archangelsk 6...Bc5 · sung from Black's side

Verse 1

My knight on f6 hits e4,

He wants my b-pawn, and more.

My bishop on c5 pins f2,

His bishop on b3 eyes f7 too.

Bishops out before I castle,

Pieces first, then I'll come through.

Chorus

Rook to b8, pawn to d6, 7.a4 Rb8 8.c3 d6 9.d4

Bishop to b6, bishop to a7, 9...Bb6 10.a5 Ba7

Bishop to b7, long diagonals run, 11.h3 Bb7

Two bishops aiming at his king, as one.

Verse 2

His bishop e3, I castle short, 12.Be3 O-O

Pawn to d5, bishops trade on e3,

He retakes d4, knight to b4, 14.cxd4 Nb4

My bishops now hit d4 and e4.

Don't grab e4 early, let it be,

That old pawn grab lost two in three.

Chorus

Rook to b8, pawn to d6, 7.a4 Rb8 8.c3 d6 9.d4

Bishop to b6, bishop to a7, 9...Bb6 10.a5 Ba7

Bishop to b7, long diagonals run, 11.h3 Bb7

Two bishops aiming at his king, as one.

Bridge

His d-pawn and e-pawn hold the ground,

One narrow road the masters all walk down,

The queens stay on, the fight runs late,

My a7 bishop makes him wait.

Chorus

Rook to b8, pawn to d6, 7.a4 Rb8 8.c3 d6 9.d4

Bishop to b6, bishop to a7, 9...Bb6 10.a5 Ba7

Bishop to b7, long diagonals run, 11.h3 Bb7

Two bishops aiming at his king, as one.

Outro

Bishop to b6, bishop to a7, 9...Bb6 10.a5 Ba7

Pointing at his king, my Archangel heaven.
