Checkmate The Crown

[Verse 1]
Plastic smiles on the dead TV
Same script
They just swap the suit
Every channel sells the same old fear
While they’re looting in polished boots
They think we’re stuck on a rigged game board
Pawns lined up in a waiting room
But I’ve been counting every crooked move
I see the cracks in their golden tomb
[Chorus]
I’m playing 4D chess with a house of cards
Checkmate the crown
Hit ‘em in the dark (hey!)
Dropping the hammer on their pretty lies
Every tower falls when the truth arrives
Their empire glitches
Systems doomed
Freedom’s in the room
Freedom’s in the room
[Verse 2]
Signed our rights with invisible ink
Fine print in a poisoned law
Smile wide while they twist the knife
Call it “order
” call it “higher cause”
But I mapped out all their secret doors
Backdoors in the castle wall
One wrong spin of their rusted gears
And the whole fake kingdom stalls
[Chorus]
I’m playing 4D chess with a house of cards
Checkmate the crown
Hit ‘em in the dark (yeah!)
Dropping the hammer on their pretty lies
Every tower falls when the truth arrives
Their empire glitches
Systems doomed
Freedom’s in the room
Freedom’s in the room
[Bridge]
Hear that hum?
That’s the mainframe scream
Too much weight
On a rotten dream
All their codes
Built on stolen names
Pull one wire
Watch it all go flames (go flames)
[Chorus]
I’m playing 4D chess with a house of cards
Checkmate the crown
Set fire to the guards (hey!)
Dropping the hammer on their pretty lies
Every tower falls when the truth arrives
System crashing
Blacked-out throne
Freedom coming fast
We’re taking it home

rock, Hybrid punk-metal at 190 BPM, male vocals. Palm-muted guitars lock with a snarling bass, then explode into open-string power chords on the chorus. Drums are frantic and stomping with double-time fills, gang shouts on key lines. Bridge dives into a half-time, riff-heavy breakdown before a final, shouted chorus. Vocals stay ragged and urgent, with stacked screams on “checkmate” and “freedom” punches., punk, metal
