The trial is set before us
|
And it's hard understand
|
The mechanics of this world we tread
|
The potential in our hands
|
Truth is born in uncertain stages
|
And in turn life will reveal
|
That though we stand before the crown
|
The future is concealed
|
|
So we must move to face our enemies
|
And to each of us, his own
|
Perspectives change across the board
|
As the last among us knows
|
And I am proud of what I've sacrificed
|
And I am proud of what I've saved
|
In commitment to a greater good strength grows from splintered faith
|
|
And if the darkness falls upon me
|
In the silence of my heart
|
And if the world turns to abandon
|
I will not fall apart
|
For I believe in something deeper
|
Than the physics that we share
|
And I will strive with all my power
|
To reach the 8th and final square
|
|
For in every evil and every loss
|
A finer verity unfolds
|
You are free to face this trepidation
|
And with your weakness grow
|
For the strongest bones are broken
|
And the soul needs to redeem
|
With courage face the thing you fear
|
So the pawn becomes the queen
|
|
And if the darkness falls upon me
|
In the silence of my heart
|
And if the world turns to abandon
|
I will not fall apart
|
For I believe in something deeper
|
Than the physics that we share
|
And I will strive with all my power
|
To reach the 8th and final square
|
|
I go inside the darkness
|
I go within the light
|
I find the open spaces
|
My world is black and white
|
