lyrics

How can the queen defy me?
For I know one day she’ll rely on me
To bust on her bishops and wrestle her rooks
Diagonal her deities and take all she took

I’ll simplify my strategy
While the government gets fat on me
So cover your king or castle instead
Cause the mob is shouting “Off with his head!”

Too late to turn? Too late to stop?
We’re all too busy having fun
Can we sustain such deep distain?
Can the game even be won?

It doesn’t matter where I’m at
Upon this giant checkered board
This game of life cannot be won
Until my soul has soared

Even though the world we know
Is a game that’s nearly done
One culture coming closer
to the edge on which we run

Even though the world we know
Is a game that’s nearly done
One culture coming closer
to the edge on which we run

So send that queen across to me
Cause I love how she looks - so lost and lonely
Perish my pawns, knife all my knights
Crucify my castles, I’ve yet begun to fight

They’re legions of allegiance
But let me pose this question to you
As you dance into the dawn
On the checkered board of life
Aren’t you tired of being a pawn?

Now when you’re faced with checkmate
Won’t you join and sing with me
Even though I’m just a pawn
I can still kill the King!
I can still kill the King! I can still kill the King!

Even though the world we know
Is a game that’s nearly done
One culture coming closer
to the edge on which we run

Even though the world we know
Is a game that’s nearly done
One culture coming closer
to the edge on which we run
