chess in concert – endgame #2 lyrics
[soloists]
1866–wilhelm steinitz
1894–emmanuel lasker
[molokov]
how straightforward the game
when one has trust in one’s player!
[soloists]
1921–jose capablanca
[molokov]
and how great the relief
working for one who believes in
loyalty, heritage
true to his kind, come what may
[soloists]
1927–alex alekhine
[freddie]
how straightforward the game
when one is free from distraction!
[soloists]
1935–euwe
1948–mikhail botvinnik
[freddie]
when your only concern
is laid out so clearly before you
64 squares
they’re the reason you know you exist
[soloists]
1957–vasily smylov
1960–tal
[molokov]
it’s the weak who accept
tawdry untruths about freedom
[soloists]
1963–tigran petrosian
[molokov]
prost-tuting themselves
chasing a spurious starlight
trinkets in airports
sufficient to lead them astray
[soloists]
1969–boris sp-ssky
[florence]
does the player exist
in any human endeavor?
[soloists]
1972–bobby fischer
1975–anatoly karpov
[florence]
who’s been known to resist
sirens of fame and possessions?
they will destroy you
not rivals, not age, not success
[soloists]
1956–budapest is rising
1956–budapest is fighting!
1956–budapest is falling
1956–budapest is dying!
