Zugzwang
The world is run on lies, deceit, manipulation and gambits. Lives are traded like pawns in a global chess game, impossible tyrants burning for control. This song likens global politics behind the scenes to a massive chess game with impossible stakes where we the people are at a constant disadvantage.

The devil's in the details,
little smiles
like battle lines,
pulled tight
over bloodshot eyes,
an attitude too big to fail.
Heavy hangs the head
that wears the crown,
so save yourself
your empty threats,
he'll burn the whole board down!
Let's game!
Let's start!
Make your move
play your part
don't hesitate
this game's
not
for the faint of heart!
Let's go
fangs out
Devil in the blood
let's cut a little deeper now!
The devil's in the details,
fading lights
upon ink black skies,
blinking white,
what a gorgeous sight
to behold as we tip the scales.
One world begets the next
as death begat the last.
This age old
game of chess
will take us all to task!
Let's game!
Let's start!
Make your move
play your part
don't hesitate
this game's
not
for the faint of heart!
Let's go
fangs out
Devil in the blood
let's cut a little deeper now!
Empty words
from hollow men
breed broken worlds
to follow them
to the end we all must face!
The last crusade,
for a sordid fate
alive and well in a fresh dug grave
the squalid
bed our arrogance has made!
For every trap a trigger,
for every word a meaning,
for every withered pointing finger,
there stands a warrior bleeding.
This world is won on bluffs and faces
and sold on words with empty graces.
For every man a price
for every sin a cost.
This planet's currency is lies
and we still wonder
why we remain so lost.
