Zugzwang

So what is next in our game of chess
So what is next in our game of chess
Where we’re kings and we’re close to death
Where we’re kings and we’re close to death

If we decide to release a move
If we decide to release a move
The game is done and we cannot choose
The game is done and we cannot choose

Zugzwang, Zugzwang
Zugzwang, Zugzwang

Be brave and choose while the shadows fall
Be brave and choose while the shadows fall
Or stay and think of another world
Or stay and think of another world

Now it’s your turn, what will you do?
Now it’s your turn, what will you do?
The time has come and light blinds you
The time has come and light blinds you

A game of chess
We’re close to death
Release a move
We cannot choose
