Lyrics

Every move on the board is a step in my plan,
The empire falls when the game’s in my hands.
No surrender, I’ll turn the tide,
A mask of resolve that I won’t hide.
Sacrifice is the price that I pay,
Every piece must fall into place.
With the mask I wear, they’ll never see
The king I was born to be.
Checkmate — I call the fall,
Empires tremble when I stand tall.
Checkmate — the world will know,
Even if I’m the last to go.
I will see through the stage,
To the end of the game,
Checkmate.
Voices rise but they don’t decide,
No retreat and no compromise.
Friend or foe — the end is clear,
The throne they built will disappear.
Sacrifice is the price that I pay,
Every piece must fall into place.
Through the struggle and the breaking day,
The mask won’t fade away.
Checkmate — I call the fall,
Empires tremble when I stand tall.
Checkmate — the world will know,
Even if I’m the last to go.
I will see through the stage,
To the end of the game,
Checkmate.
This is my stand, my final play,
Rebellion carved in the steps I take.
If my hands are stained, then let it be,
For tomorrow’s crown and victory.
Checkmate — I close the game,
Kings and pawns will remember my name.
Checkmate — the end is near,
Every cry will know I was here.
I will see through the stage,
To the end of the game,
Checkmate.
