(Verse 1) The pawns advance like whispers in the hall, Silent moves before the curtain falls. A king stands tall but his crown’s too tight, Every sacrifice could be his last night. (Pre-Chorus) Check the board, the pieces scream, Blood and velvet, smoke and steam. No retreat—just fire ahead, One wrong step and you wind up dead. (Chorus) The King’s gambit, oh, it’s a reckless play, Trade your soul just to break the fray. Gold turns rust, the throne’s a cage, Win the war but lose the age! (Verse 2) The bishop laughs from his marble seat, While the rook’s shadow stalks the street. A queen’s embrace—just another snare, Love and poison taste the same in the air. (Bridge) Midnight bells, the clockwork hums, Fingers trace the cold steel guns. Who’s the player? Who’s the pawn? The king kneels—dawn is gone. (Chorus) The King’s gambit, oh, it’s a reckless play, Trade your soul just to break the fray. Gold turns rust, the throne’s a cage, Win the war but lose the age! (Outro) Checkmate whispers through the dust, Ash and echoes, blades and lust. All the kingdoms rise and fade, On the board where games are played.
