lyrics
1.Checkmate
Mt battle for simmetry
My road to success
Led me to banality
Addictive distress
Antipositional moves
Played by my weak hand
I became the exposed king
A fool in command
So it´s time to clear my name
Redefine rules of my game – Checkmate! (2x)
Now the pieces are all set
It´s a choice of no regret – Checkmate! (2x)
I was given sympathy
And love in a foul play
Easily blockaded
I was led astray
My dreams were crushed in a game
Of short duration
All my plans were ruined by
Miscalculation
So it´s time to clear my name
Redefine rules of my game – Checkmate! (2x)
Now the pieces are all set
It´s a choice of no regret – Checkmate! (2x)
I will endure
I´ll find the cure
Wipe the blood from my face
Irascible
And tactical
I shall regain my space
My remotion
My promotion
A woodpusher no more
More sensible
Defensible
Ready to win the war
My army will march again
straight from the back rank
I´ll pursue my focal point
Your vulnerable flank
Time to face and counterattack
All that I´ve done wrong
Like a bare king on the board
I must move along
So it´s time to clear my name
Redefine rules of my game – Checkmate! (2x)
Now the pieces are all set
It´s a choice of no regret – Checkmate! (2x)
