Checkmate Lyrics by Grace Piper Fields

2020

The black horse rides into the night
Open the gates and let him in

Clouds turned black
And the sky tuned blue
But all that I could think of was you

You turned your shoulder
I turned my cheek
But don’t misinterpret me as weak

Badum, badadum

In this game of chess
The stakes are high
In this game of thrones
Don’t lose your pride

With chess board thoughts
I protect the king
My next move is swift and keen

Dark horse rides near
Did I retract?
Well if I did, I take that back, mhmm

Ah-ooo-ooo-ooo / howlin at the moon
Ah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo

One step forward
Two steps back
Better make sure you stay on track
Hold her in a high esteem
Soon they’ll sing God save the queen

One step forward
Two steps back
Better make sure you stay on track
Hold her in a high esteem
Soon they’ll sing God save the queen

In this game of chess
The stakes are high
In this game of thrones
Don’t lose your pride

Touche, touche, touche

In the shadow of
Your castle walls, you hide
Down-da-down it came
Like the fall of Versailles

Ah-ooo-ooo-ooo / howlin’ at the moon
Ah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo / howlin’ at the moon

Losing pawns
To save the knight
It’s hard to know what’s wrong or right
Wrong, right

You wore armor
I held my shield
What did this chess game yield? Ahhh

Checkmate

Ah-ooooooo
