Your Move
John Siegler & Norman Grossfeld Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your move!

It's time to duel
And there's no backing down
The Heart of the Cards
Is where magic is found
We've played this game before
But never quite this way
It's like an all-out war
With monsters that obey

Yu-Gi-Oh!
He's the King of Games
Yu-Gi-Oh!
King of Games

Your move!

Nowhere to turn, now
The traps have been set
Play that one last surprise
Hey, it ain't over yet
They've got the upper hand
But that won't last for long
It's time to take a stand
And show them that you're strong

Yu-Gi-Oh!
He's the King of Games
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Hey!

Egyptian secrets are revived
Ancient powers have survived
When wrong from right's not black and white
Friends will help to win the fight
Solve the Puzzle's mystery
Unlock a hero's destiny
Now alter egos, no one knows
Side by side they fight their foes

It's time to duel!

These dual identities, they struggle for control
Two personalites inhabiting one soul
It's not a match you're in
It's much more like a brawl
The only way to win
You've got to risk it all

Your move!

It's time to duel
And there's no backing down
The Heart of the Cards
Is where magic is found
We've played this game before
But never this quite this way
It's like an all-out war
With monsters that obey

Yu-Gi-Oh!
He's the King of Games
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Hey!

Yu-Gi-Oh!
He's the King of Games
Yu-Gi-Oh!
(Yu-Gi-Oh!)
Yu-Gi-Oh!
He's the King of Games
Yu-Gi-Oh!
King of Games
Yu-Gi-Oh!
He's the King of Games




Yu-Gi-Oh!
Your move!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of John Siegler Norman Grossfeld's song "Your Move" are a call to action for the character in the popular anime and manga series Yu-Gi-Oh! as he prepares to duel his opponents. The song captures the excitement and intensity of these duels, where battles are fought with cards that summon powerful monsters, and the "Heart of the Cards" is where magic is found. The lyrics suggest that this battle is different from previous ones, and that it's more all-encompassing - like a war - but it's a battle that can be won with the help of friends and the strength of one's own resolve.


Through the song, we are reminded that the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! is one where ancient powers have survived and where Egyptian secrets are revived. The duels that take place within this world aren't just games but struggles for control between two personalities inhabiting one soul. Winning requires a willingness to take risks, to summon all of one's strength and resolve, and to trust in the power of friendship. The final refrain of "Your move!" is a call to action that both motivates the character and sets the stage for the next phase of the battle.
