lyrics

Rook to Queen Five, I've lost both my Knights,
I'm fighting for my life, I'm fighting for my life.
And I know that, eventually, you'll take me
And my kingdom will be consigned to history.
I'm trying to keep an escape plan
For as long as I possibly can,
'Cause I know that you'll have me cornered
And my crown will be laid at your feet.

They will build statues of me,
They will sing songs about me:
The Faceless King of Nothing,
The Lord of Best-Laid Plans.
They will build statues of me,
They will sing songs about me:
The Faceless King of Nothing,
The Lord of Best-Laid Plans.

You can't say that you don't know me, because I see myself in you.
You can't say that I am a no-one, because I'm in everything you do.
We were the kids who thought we be heroes,
You are the girls who thought you'd be brides.
I don't want your pity, 'cause I have got nothing but my pride.
