.Checkmate

All of a sudden I had fallen off
A wondrous dimension
A world of my projection
My little house of cards was torn apart
Like water after tension
A loss of no redemption

On the world of black and white
I lost myself among the kings and knights again

I've been thrown off the board
I've been hit by a horseman
Oh, to fall like I did
I made such a fool out of me
When at last I gazed upon the queen
She was much more beautiful than she seemed
And so it all turned opaque
And it was checkmate for me

All of a sudden choices that I made
Began to fade to moss green
A movie with a lost scene
Oh, so monotonous my crown of hearts
Like mountains of a gray land
A festival with no band
On the tiles of black and white
I lost myself among the kings and knights again

I been thrown off the board
I been hit by a swordsman
Oh, to lose like I did
How foolish does one have to be?
When at last I gazed upon the queen
She was much more beautiful than she seemed
And so it all turned opaque
And it was checkmate for me, my love

Off of the board I lose control
Calling for love I'll never ever own
And if I'm to die then I say "roll the bones!"
Falling down, down
And as the skies all fade to gray
I shall remember every single day
I let the one that I love walk away
Falling down, down

When at last I gazed upon the queen
There was someone else I hadn't seen
And so it all turned opaque
