One by one We sacrificed our pawns For our queen To play her way Rooks and knights Built a solid wall For her protection
One by one We couldn't go on To keep the balance between Madness and affection Our queen enchanted everyone Fatal play One night Our queen just walked away
Everytime we managed to calm down again You returned with more poison Everytime we managed to navigate a while You filled our souls with more outrage
(Torch) When the sirens broke down We were still here (Torch) Igniting more fires To burn down every Responsibility
(Torch) When the towers collapsed You whispered my name Princess of fire Desire I do remember you
Darkness comes At nightfall This place is quiet and abandoned Smoke and ember Attest to what we had Now checkered wasteland
One by one We sacrificed our pawns To please our queen Fulfill her desire Our walls have fallen Treasures stolen Our queen is long long gone And I dream of fire"
