Chess

I'll go out like a knight
Trying to capture someone's queen
But after a night out
I couldn't even walk
A straight line
When I was King
My Queen was taken in front of me
Life is a game of chess
And this is checkmate
I'm no religious man
No bishop I could trust
Always going sideways
To cover your soul
In sin and rust
When I was King
Everyone was after me
Life is a game of chess
And this is checkmate
So I'll start again
Back in the frontline again
Once a King, now a pawn
One small step ahead every day
And it will take time
Long way to the other side
On a journey to death
Or to conquer back my crown
