Lyrics

So you got what you want
Her hand in yours while I go on blindly
I've given you all I've got
There's no more
All the while I was up, you were
Cuttin' me down, thinking you'd defeat me
Wetting white pawns with your blood
And stealing my crown
This is a battle
A duel of minds
A game of skill
And right from square one
I've been devising your fall
'Cause if you move to the left, move to the right
And if you move to the front, move to the side
Either way I have won
This game's over and done
Sorry son
You can't outsmart fate
Checkmate
You've got your strategies
Good for you
But there's no plan
That I don't see through
I'll capture your bishops, your knights, and king's horses
And I'll capture your castle, too
'Cause this is a battle
A match of wits
A game of skill
And finally in this backwards looking-glass world
The outblast is soon to be still
'Cause if you move to the left, move to the right (Checkmate)
And if you move to the front, move to the side (Either way)
Either way I have won
This game's over and done
Sorry son
You can't outsmart fate
Checkmate
(?) isn't easy as making a move
But explain all you will
You've still got much to prove
I'm so sick of this fight
My life's not black and white
Do you think all this scheming is through?
'Cause if you move to the left, move to the right (Checkmate)
And if you move to the front, move to the side (Either way)
Either way I have won
This game's over and done
Sorry son
You can't outsmart fate
'Cause if you move to the left, move to the right (Checkmate)
And if you move to the front, move to the side (Either way)
Either way I have won
Go ahead, try to run
Sorry son
It's too late to escape
Checkmate
