Defiance Checkmate Lyrics

Checkmate Lyrics

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
