Closterkeller - The Ego Game 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
