Checkmate Lyrics - Singles - Defiance

The kings and queens send their pawns off to war 

An unfair law upheld in the years before 

They take a life from a child and their dreams 

Imagine people never even stop to think 

Back many years - Checkmate 

They believe to kill - Checkmate 

There was no law - Checkmate 

They killed at will - Checkmate 

Medieval torture - Checkmate 

Now begins - Checkmate 

Man to follow - Checkmate 

Many to hang - Checkmate 

Checkmate - Checkmate 

People die still, some at their youth 

No one knows why 'cause there never is no truth 

Romans believe to send their children off to war 

Retaliation, continuation of the war 

Retaliation of the war 

Some people die still, some still at their youth 

No one knows why, there is no truth 

Romans believe to send their children off to war 

Retaliation, continuation of the war 

Checkmate !....... 

The kings and queens send their pawns off to war 

An unfair law upheld in the years before 

To take the life from a child and their dreams 

Imagine people never even stop to think
