The Final Checkmate
This is the final checkmate, the king stands all aloneNo court, no law, no balance left, just marble turned to stone
Verse 1
The crown came down in silence, not a shot or scream was heard
No breaking news, no marching boots, just a line buried in a word
Three branches turned to tinder, and the match was struck with stealth
While billionaires bought silence, and democracy was shelved
Chorus
This is the final checkmate, the king stands all alone
No court, no law, no balance left, just marble turned to stone
They sold the soul of justice for a tax cut and a throne
This is the final checkmate — and the tyrant’s taken home
Verse 2
The judges cry “contempt,” but the gavel hits the air
No chains, no jail, no justice left — just darkness draped in care
The House has bowed and yielded, the Senate’s sealed its fate
While freedom’s ghost walks restless through a rusting White House gate
Bridge
Raise your voice or raise your chains
History forgets the tame
This is not some distant war
It’s right here, at our door
Chorus
This is the final checkmate, where silence is the crime
The Constitution bleeding ink, erased in real time
They crowned the man who mocks the law, and stripped the courts of might
This is the final checkmate — now stand or lose the fight
Outro
So call the halls of power, shout through every gate
Before we learn too late, too late...
This is the final checkmate
The article is bad enough but the song is sooo sad. This whole mess is heartbreaking. There has to be an uprising.
The 9/11 Commission blamed the attack on the lack of interagency intel sharing. W Bush's FIRST executive order on taking office as President was to dissolve Clinton's Interagency Working Groups.
