"Checkmate" lyrics

"Checkmate"

The grass is so green
So it seems
On the side that's not yours
Illusions of course
You roll the dice
No surprise
Three times six
That's the trick
The devil wears your lips

Colors fade into the flames
Black and white is what remains
We are only pieces to play
My own queen to change the game
Now the king has been betrayed
Bridges burn
I realise my faith
You call checkmate

Just stop pretend
Time won't mend
It won't heal your remorse
Past my breaking point
Changes of heart
Drift apart
Shifting ways in this game
And now it is too late

Colors fade into the flames
Black and white is what remains
We are only pieces to play
My own queen to change the game
Now the king has been betrayed
Bridges burn
I realise my faith
You call checkmate

Remind yourself and tell me if
The night you had was worth it
Did it touch the spot, you keep inside?
Was it all you ever wanted?
A night over lifetime
A game over night
Colors fade into the flames
Black and white is what remains
We are only pieces to play
My own queen to change the game
Now the king has been betrayed
Bridges burn
I realise my faith
You call checkmate
