Closterkeller - The Ego Game lyrics

rate me

Why did this gambit lead to the endgame

What's wrong? My anger pushed those words out when

The backstage curtain went up in flames

And tears were moved to where the gestures were

In the ego game we are playing

One easy strategy is to capture all

But if you want to win

This game must be drawn

We'll have it the way the grandmasters play

Hands off, and don't you dare to look away!

You threaten the pawn with your king; and hear "Checkmate!"

But in this game you cannot move back, the rules say

In the ego game we are playing

One easy strategy is to capture all

But if you want to win

This game must be drawn

This is a game of minds as well as of hearts;

You didn't lose a piece - but does that mean you won?

Now you're alone, is that what you've been hoping for?

Now the queen is playing on someone else's board
