In this game that we play,
You're just a pawn...
With nowhere left to move.

The Queen has fallen,
residing to her fate.
The castle is nothing more than a broken palace.

The King drops to his knees...
With nothing left to lose.
"Is it over yet?"

Covering his face with his hands.
All the men who swore not to betray him,
Lie in pieces on their dusty grave.

Then the silence came.
It was deafening,
It was death.
