Chess
The black knight is in anger
As the white queen passes by
I can see your eyes shift
As you’re trying not to cry
It’s only a game you say
And you move another stone
While you feed on your illusions
I am shaken to the bone
The knight gives way to shiny white
And the pile of blackness grows
In your eyes a hope is glowing
For a reason nobody knows
I told you that the wind is stronger
You just smiled and called me fool
You played on and called fate liar
Oh, you just were way too cool
I lift my hand to crush your chances
Lift my eyes to see you pale
Turn my head to hide emotions
While I’m trying to exhale
You raised the stakes through self-approval
And you were deaf to warning words
You put all in and now you shiver
For you know by now it hurts
I want your king and I will crush it
A small price you’ll have to pay
In a game I bid my good-bye
Because I know you love to play
I told you that the wind is stronger
Warned you not to be too cool
But you just laughed and called me liar
Now it’s you who is the fool
Remember that we are all the same
In the hands of fate
…just a dice in a game
