Closterkeller - The Ego Game tekst piosenki (lyrics)

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
