CHECK-MATE

CHANCES DANCE LIKE BEADS ACROSS THE RAIN
I CAN FEEL THE TIME HAS COME AGAIN
THE KING AND QUEEN SIT BACK AND WATCH THE FRAY
KNIGHTS AND ROOKS TO CLARIFY THE WAY

THE PAWNS GO OUT AND PLAY TODAY
NO SAY IN THEIR DEMISE
THE BISHOP’S LAUGHING AS HE HIDES
INSIDE HIS OWN DISGUISE

BLACK AND WHITE THE BOARD, IT SETS THE STAGE
LOOK AHEAD IT’S TIME TO TURN THE PAGE
MOVE BY MOVE AND NOW THE END IS NEAR
THEY COULD KILL A MILLION WITHOUT TEARS

THE PAWNS ARE GONE AND NOW THE STAGE
WILL SOMEHOW FADE AWAY
THE BISHOP LAUGHS NOT LAST, AGHAST
AND NOW IT’S THERE HE LAYS

BASS

BISHOPS, KNIGHTS AND ROOKS ARE NOW THE PAWNS
SWORD OF DAMOCLES WILL NOW FALL ON
RACING TO THE END THEY LOST THEIR WAY
IT APPEARS THE KING WILL LIVE TODAY
