It didn't have to be like that
I haven't done anything wrong
Except of saying a couple of words in anger
My theatre of gestures has burnt and my tears have dried out
The art of ambition, the art of ambition
Not to give too much, not to take too little
To win or to die - but it is a mistake sometimes!
A game for the greatest ones - do not touch me!
Look straight into my eyes - everything changes
You will give a pawn up for a king just to hear 'Mate!'
And you won't be able to withdraw from this decision because that's how the rules of the game are
The art of ambition, the art of ambition
Not to give too much, not to take too little
To win or to die - but it is a mistake sometimes!
You have won but will you be able to sleep peacefully?
It is reason which helps to win the game, not a stiff neck
You have lost your queen and you're all alone now
I play with a different person on a different chessboard
The art of ambition, the art of ambition
Not to give too much, not to take too little
To win or to die - but it is a mistake sometimes!
