Checkmate Songtext
von No More Kings

The king sits in his throne room making faces at the queen
And the pawns all guard the entrance, it′s the heart of their routine
Something in the distance inconsistent with their plans
Danger soon approaches and encroaches on their land
Their land

We're in the opening
And any hopeful king would never ever understand
Do what you can
To keep on focusing on the only thing
And hope that following commands
Can help you make a stand

Cause it′s all about the checkmate
In the endgame
No nothing else matters
Nothing but the checkmate
It's a head game
It can take you by surprise


It's all about the checkmate
In the endgame
It′s a natural disaster
If it′s checkmate
Then it's too late
Cause it′s all about the that checkmate

The king's trapped in the corner
He′s surrounded and confused
And the pawns around him falter
As the enemy broke through
The queen is in the courtyard
With the doors barred she's afraid
As the world around her crumbles
In the rubble of the fray
She′ll rule the day

We're in the endgame now
With unlimited power
And I know you understand
Do what you can
To keep on focusing on the only thing
And hope that following commands
Can help you make a stand
You gonna make a stand


Cause it's all about the checkmate
In the endgame
No nothing else matters
Nothing but the checkmate
It′s a head game
It can take you by surprise

It′s all about the checkmate
In the endgame
It's a natural disaster
If it′s checkmate
Then it's too late
Cause it′s all about the that checkmate

And it's all about the checkmate
Nothing matters but the checkmate
All that matters is the checkmate
All that matters is the checkmate checkmate
All that matters is the checkmate checkmate
All that matters is the checkmate
Take a stand

Cause it′s all about the checkmate
In the endgame
No nothing else matters
Nothing but the checkmate
It's a head game
It can take you by surprise

It's all about the checkmate
In the endgame
It′s a natural disaster
If it′s checkmate
Then it's too late
Cause it′s all about the that checkmate
Checkmate
