가사

Tick… tock…

Three deaths, same block.

No prints, no blade, no knock—

Just hearts that… stop.

You call it "judgment," I call it a trick.

You pray to your "savior," I study the ticks.

Every miracle you shout about

Is just a pattern

I haven't worked out.

You light your candles for an unseen hand,

Dead men falling on demand.

You say, "At last, a god who cares,"

I say, "Strange… he favors certain chairs."

Criminal drops at the sound of the news,

Same time slot, same scripted views.

You say, "Divine," I say, "Routine,"

I see a human

Behind the screen.

He stops the crime…

He cleans the streets…

He picks his stage,

He loves receipts.

He feels like order…

He feels like fear.

And I'm the one

Who's standing here.

Welcome to the checkmate,

Welcome to the line,

Where I take your "miracle"

And break it into signs.

I live between your worship

And the data that you shout—

You bow,

I count,

I drag your god

Beyond reasonable doubt.

Checkmate… checkmate…

Count it out… investigate…

Call him savior, call him judge,

I don't care what you call his shroud.

I'll put my life on the scales with his—

Let's see who falls

When the proof comes out.

Check.

Mate.

Why chase a ghost who cleans your streets,

Turns your nightmares into sheets?

If the world is safer when I write,

Why tear the halo

From my light?

Because your "halo" fits too snug

On someone digging their own grave rug.

Every clean corpse, every perfect time,

Screams "craft," not "divine."

You're clever, yes—

But so am I.

Pick a side,

Live or lie.

Ooh, little man

With the sugar and screens,

Betting his life

On the spaces between.

So here's my theory, here's my game:

You're just a human

Behind a name.

If I sit beside you, watch your eyes,

Every kindness,

Every "surprise,"

I'll turn your faith into evidence,

Your holy throne

To fingerprints.

You think you're god? Then prove it, friend—

I'll be your shadow

Until the end.

Welcome to the checkmate,

Welcome to the test,

Where I nail your little kingdom

To a logic chest.

If you're really justice,

Then you'll stand this bout—

So sit with me

While I pull this thread

Beyond reasonable doubt.

Maybe he's right…

Maybe he's mad…

Chasing a god

Like a passing fad…

You're staking your pulse

On a hunch in your head—

One wrong move

And you end up dead.

Good.

Then we're both

Playing for keeps.

You take names,

I take notes.

You take hearts,

I take votes.

You rule by fear,

I rule by doubt,

You write them in,

I cross you out.

I'll chain myself

To your every breath,

Sit right next to you

And flirt with death.

If I'm wrong,

I fall—good game.

If I'm right,

I say your name.

Every sugar cube, every sleepless night,

Is a wager placed

On dragging you to light.

This isn't faith,

This isn't prayer—

It's a final offer:

Meet me there.

Welcome to the checkmate,

Welcome to my seat,

Where your unseen throne

Gets a front-row beat.

I don't need heaven,

I don't need crowns,

Just the truth that stands

When the dust falls down.

Checkmate… checkmate…

Tick… tock… time's late…

If I die watching for the flicker in your eyes,

Let that be the proof

That your "justice" was lies.

Write my name if you want—

I won't back out.

I'd rather die

Than live

Without

Beyond reasonable doubt.

Checkmate…

Checkmate…

In the end we'll see

Whose god was fake.

Your move.
