ASKANA - CHECKMATE

Chorus

Gold on the barrel and ice on my breath

I am the queen and I am the death

Look in my eyes while I take what is left

Checkmate

Checkmate

Bow to the throne and get out of the way

Counting the cost of the games that you play

Watching your kingdom just wither to gray

Checkmate

Checkmate

Verse 1

Chrome plated teeth in a silk lined suit

Buried the past and I poisoned the fruit

Blood on the gravel but I keep it cute

Silence is heavy when I choose to shoot

Hollow inside

Trophy girl pride

Pre-Chorus

Under the weight of the crown

Tearing the pillars all down

Fear in the city

Without any pity

I hold the fire

Building the pyre

Chorus

Gold on the barrel and ice on my breath

I am the queen and I am the death

Look in my eyes while I take what is left

Checkmate

Checkmate

Bow to the throne and get out of the way

Counting the cost of the games that you play

Watching your kingdom just wither to gray

Checkmate

Checkmate

Verse 2

Knives in the roses I pick for the grave

Sold all the secrets that I couldn't save

Breaking the promise that you never gave

King is a coward and king is a slave

Ruined and raw

Breaking the law

Pre-Chorus

Under the weight of the crown

Tearing the pillars all down

Fear in the city

Without any pity

I hold the fire

Building the pyre

Bridge

Broken glass

Bitter glass

Watch it pass

Don't you look back

Nothing but black

Taking it back

Chorus

Gold on the barrel and ice on my breath

I am the queen and I am the death

Look in my eyes while I take what is left

Checkmate

Checkmate

Bow to the throne and get out of the way

Counting the cost of the games that you play

Watching your kingdom just wither to gray

Checkmate

Checkmate

Drop

Checkmate

Ch-ch-checkmate

Checkmate

Checkmate

Now get out the way
