lyrics

Frightened of succeeding
And too proud to fail
Regardless of the feeling
It's time we set sail
And though we lack the deckhands
Or rations to support
Our friends and all our loves
We've already left port

But you say we haven't left yet
That we're still at square one
And though the chessboard's open
You've already succumb
To the life of a pawn
Who's going to die first round
But pawns cannot go backwards
So there's no turning around

Fight your way to the other side
Become a mighty queen
And if you don't mind me joining
I'd like to be your king
Even though your moves are better
It's a throne on which I reside
'Cause any throne is a good one
When it is at your side
