Lyrics Kings & Pawns - Timi Tamminen

There's darkness in the daybreak, yeah
How much more beating can my heart take, yeah?
Hope sometimes feels like a mistake, yeah
Concrete gargoyles and cameras, the land's gang-raped, yeah
Screens ate up all of the landscape, yeah
The world changes with every handshake, yeah
Half between asleep and awake
I've seen the future, brother
Cohen's words haven't aged

The times are moving back and forth
I can hear the coming storm
Love is war and right is wrong
The endgame is more for the kings and the pawns

Smile!
You're on camera, this one ain't candid, no
Your data's the new gold, branded like animals
Everything's cancelled but the bandits and the drones
Will this play end like Hamlet?
Should we laugh or moan?

The times are moving back and forth
I can hear the coming storm
Love is war and right is wrong
The endgame is more for the kings and the pawns

It's always more
It's always more
It's always more for the kings and the pawns
It's always more
It's always more
It's always more for the kings and the pawns

You can hide the garbage behind the curtain but the stench will catch you
We would rather live in a lie than face the hard truths
Face the darkness that permeates our core, our essence
We're just one big family of addicts trying to deny the inevitable
