A Game of Chess (feat. Mikael Salo)
Draft letter came from the military
Telling me to fight the enemy
Do I have a choice?
Will they hear my voice?
Decided by a dictator's regime
To carry out their deranged little scheme
Do I have a choice?
Will they hear my voice?
I could not care less
About their game of chess
My duty calls to the frontlines
And I guess my train is leaving
It runs over my grieving heart
Leaving behind all that I love
And my heart is feeling heavy
Do I really have to depart?
Clown with the loaded gun has lost his mind
Ordering us to kill our own kind
All the nations left and right are watching us in disbelief
Trying to come up with something that would offer them relief
Do I have a choice?
Will they hear my voice?
I could not care less
About this game of chess
My duty calls to the frontlines
And I guess my train is leaving
It runs over my grieving heart
Leaving behind all that I love
And my heart is feeling heavy
Do I really have to depart?
Hey, hey, hey!
My duty calls to the frontlines
And I guess my train is leaving
It runs over my grieving heart
Leaving behind all that I love
And my heart is feeling heavy
Do I really have to depart?
My duty calls to the frontlines
And I guess my train is leaving
It runs over my grieving heart
Leaving behind all that I love
And my heart is feeling heavy
Do I really have to depart?
Telling me to fight the enemy
Do I have a choice?
Will they hear my voice?
Decided by a dictator's regime
To carry out their deranged little scheme
Do I have a choice?
Will they hear my voice?
I could not care less
About their game of chess
My duty calls to the frontlines
And I guess my train is leaving
It runs over my grieving heart
Leaving behind all that I love
And my heart is feeling heavy
Do I really have to depart?
Clown with the loaded gun has lost his mind
Ordering us to kill our own kind
All the nations left and right are watching us in disbelief
Trying to come up with something that would offer them relief
Do I have a choice?
Will they hear my voice?
I could not care less
About this game of chess
My duty calls to the frontlines
And I guess my train is leaving
It runs over my grieving heart
Leaving behind all that I love
And my heart is feeling heavy
Do I really have to depart?
Hey, hey, hey!
My duty calls to the frontlines
And I guess my train is leaving
It runs over my grieving heart
Leaving behind all that I love
And my heart is feeling heavy
Do I really have to depart?
My duty calls to the frontlines
And I guess my train is leaving
It runs over my grieving heart
Leaving behind all that I love
And my heart is feeling heavy
Do I really have to depart?
