Checkmate from Checkmate by Atomic Drop

Dance with death, I'll heed love's call
With every beat, I'll risk it all

The shadow of a paladin
Beneath the pale and starry night
Along the shores of endless dreams
Where time slips through like silken streams
Your laughter echoes in the wind
But fate's a game we never win
I hail your name
In eternal pain

Final move approaches, the world holds its breath
But what's it all worth when love leads to death
I gaze into your eyes and see the truth
Grasping for happiness, a glimpse of our youth

Dance with death, I'll heed love's call
With every beat, I'll risk it all
So here we are, the final call
Still I rise, and still we fall

Chessboard laid, the pieces set
I play my heart, but can't forget
With every move, the shadows creep
And dreams of you, I cannot keep
Your eyes are stars that light the sky
Across the darkness, oh so high
But death it seems is close behind
Still I search for what's divine

Final move approaches, the world holds its breath
But what's it all worth when love leads to death
In a world of shadows, where the silence grows
I'll play this game forever, until the reaper knows

Dance with death, I'll heed love's call
With every beat, I'll risk it all
So here we are, the final call
Still I rise, and still we fall
