The full lyrics to Eurus’ song and a quick breakdown of how Sherlock pulled the hidden message from it (I am not the first to post either) under the cut.
The Eight, published December 27, 1988, is American author Katherine Neville’s debut novel. It is a postmodernthriller in which the heroine, accountant Catherine Velis, must enter into a cryptic world of danger and conspiracy in order to recover the pieces of the Montglane Service, a legendary chess set once owned by Charlemagne.
Cat Velis faces a similar atmosphere of conspiracy, assassination and betrayal. As she learns the story of the Montglane Service, she begins to realize that players of the Game may plan their moves, but their very existence makes them pawns as well.
