[Verse 1]
I had to lose everything to gain everything
Sometimes you have to leave a knight behind
They all called me insane for how I played the game
But it was worth every sacrifice

[Chorus]
Welcome to my chess board
You should not have waged war
No way to know which move I will make next
This is my chess board
There's no need to keep score
'Cause I already have your king in check

[Verse 2]
You only need a pawn for so long
It served its purpose now it's time to go
You hate my strategies, maybe you're scared of me
As long as in the end I'm in control

[Chorus]
Welcome to my chess board
You should not have waged war
No way to know which move I will make next
This is my chess board
There's no need to keep score
'Cause I already have your king in check
[Bridge]
All of my moves are deliberate
They are supposed to stay ignorant
They always find me winning the game
They think I'm insane
But I just know how to play

[Chorus]
Welcome to my chess board
You should not have waged war
No way to know which move I will make next
This is my chess board
There's no need to keep score
'Cause I already have your king in check

[Outro]
I think that it's time
I think that it's time
I think that it's
Time that you resign
