CHECKMATE
lyrics: J. Morse © 1984
Moving forward
On the march
The pawns in the battle inch forward on
Shining knights
Dignified bishops
Converging on you, weaving cryptic paths
Castles and queens keeping tabs on you
Kings in all their glory, standing open, easy prey
Til the checkmate's called to end the story
And then you'll see I'm on my way
I'm on my way. . .
The battle rages on
Two armies engaging
And no advantage shows itself
The sides are even-up
And no one's going to win
When the lines begin to break, they rally on
And push the other back again
Both armies call a name
And beyond, you can see the whirlwind spin
Which side will he choose?
I'm undecided
What way will he move?
Still unprovided
With the blueprint for a rational decision
I'm on my way to save the day
Even though I don't know
Which game I should play
I'm on my way, what should I say?
Yes or no, still I go
To join in with the fray
The field begins to break
Still no end in sight
And the fall is sure to come
Champion of two hearts
Two queens, with hopeful eyes
One will be torn apart, the other controls
I'm on my way to save the day
Even though I don't know
Which game I should play
I'm on my way, what should I say?
Fall apart, or follow my heart?
I'm on my way to save the day
Even though I don't know
Which game I should play
I'm on my way, what should I say?
Fall apart, or follow my heart?
I'm the loser, either way
