Endgame #2 Lyrics by Chess in Concert Cast

Chess In Concert (Live)

2009

[ENSEMBLE]
1866—Wilhelm Steinitz
1894—Emanuel Lasker
[MOLOKOV]
How straightforward the game
When one has trust in one's player
[ENSEMBLE]
1921—José Capablanca
[MOLOKOV]
And how great the relief
Working for one who believes in
Loyalty, heritage
True to his kind, come what may
[ENSEMBLE]
1927—Alex Alekhine
[FREDDIE]
How straightforward the game
[ENSEMBLE]
1935—Euwe
[FREDDIE]
When one is free from distraction
[ENSEMBLE]
1948—Mikhail Botvinnik
[FREDDIE]
When your only concern
Is laid out so clearly before you
Sixty-four squares
They're the reason you know you exist
[ENSEMBLE]
1957—Vasily Smyslov
[MOLOKOV]
It's the weak who accept
[ENSEMBLE]
1960—Tal
[MOLOKOV]
Tawdry untruths about freedom
[ENSEMBLE]
1963—Tigran Petrosian
[MOLOKOV]
Prostituting themselves
Chasing a spurious starlight
Trinkets in airports
Sufficient to lead them astray
[ENSEMBLE]
1969—Boris Spassky
[FLORENCE & ENSEMBLE]
Does the player exist (1972—)
In any human endeavor (Bobby Fischer)
[ENSEMBLE]
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
[ENSEMBLE]
1956—Budapest is rising
1956—Budapest is fighting
1956—Budapest is falling
1956—Budapest is dying
