**Intro (Spoken):**
*"Pawn to e4..."*
The year was 1972. Reykjavik, Iceland. The world watched as two giants met across the chessboard. Bobby Fischer. Boris Spassky. A Cold War battle, but this time, with kings and queens.
---
**Verse 1:**
It’s a game of minds, a battle of wills,
Two nations watching, time standing still.
Across the board, the pieces collide,
Knight to f6, it’s the ultimate ride.
Fischer moves fast, Spassky takes time,
Every move, every step, a paradigm.
Underneath the tension, a spark in the air,
A game for the ages, no one could compare.
---
**Pre-Chorus:**
Under the lights, the whole world stares,
A battle of intellect, calculated and rare.
White makes the move, black answers in kind,
It’s a fight between hearts, but it's all in the mind.
---
**Chorus:**
Checkmate's coming, but no one knows when,
Each move like thunder, time and again.
In the game of kings, there’s no retreat,
Only one will rise, and the other’s defeat.
Checkmate’s waiting, the world holds its breath,
A game of power, and we’re all obsessed.
---
**Verse 2:**
Move after move, the tension grows,
In the mind of a genius, no one knows.
Bobby’s daring, Spassky’s cool,
Both of them playing, breaking the rules.
Knight takes bishop, the crowd gasps loud,
In the silence, you can hear the clouds.
A Cold War on the board, but the war is inside,
One step closer, no place to hide.
---
**Pre-Chorus:**
Under the lights, the whole world stares,
A battle of intellect, calculated and rare.
White makes the move, black answers in kind,
It’s a fight between hearts, but it's all in the mind.
---
**Chorus:**
Checkmate's coming, but no one knows when,
Each move like thunder, time and again.
In the game of kings, there’s no retreat,
Only one will rise, and the other’s defeat.
Checkmate’s waiting, the world holds its breath,
A game of power, and we’re all obsessed.

**Synthesizer Solo** (2 bars of a dynamic and futuristic synth melody, mimicking the tension of the game).
---
**Bridge (Spoken, in Russian):**
*"Это не просто игра... это судьба."*
("It’s not just a game… it’s destiny.")
*"Шаг за шагом, приближается конец."*
("Step by step, the end is coming.")
---
**Chorus (Final):**
Checkmate's coming, but no one knows when,
Each move like thunder, time and again.
In the game of kings, there’s no retreat,
Only one will rise, and the other’s defeat.
Checkmate’s waiting, the world holds its breath,
A game of power, and we’re all obsessed.
---
**Outro (Spoken):**
*"Pawn to e4… the game has begun. Kings will fall, but legends… legends will rise."*
