My pawns have been captured one by one Just a move and is done the "en passant" The protection wall has fallen down And values and creeds have messed up. Where's the bishop? Will he only watch my fall? You're right! I'm the king of nothing! You can see me threatened on this board You're right! I'm the king of nothing! You can see me headless on this board I feel my power draining through my hands Knights have been taken off these unknown lands Captured rooks, my fortress is damaged I've lost the foolish illusion of feeling safe Where's the queen now? She has refused to watch my fall! Without vanity, without pride Crown on the ground, checkmate! You're right! I'm the king of nothing! You can see me fallen on this board You're right! I'm the king of nothing! You can see me dying on this board I'm the king of nothing Fallen all alone Would you sit on my throne? Do you want my crown?
