King Of Nothing

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?
