Nothing Left to Know

See the players and their games
Chess or checkers they do play
Moving pieces every day
Which one are you
Maybe a pawn or a king
A queen or knight, bet a ring
In the end, lose everything
Nothing you can do
It started, so long ago
A battle, for your soul
Illusions, no more control
Until nothing, left to know
See the statues watching mirrors
Staying put, being clever
Flowing pride, to the river
It’s always the same
One more time, with a stronger sign
More real than real, a sharpened line
Going through, the end of time
Never mind the flames
It started, so long ago
A battle, for a lighter glow
Illusions, no more control
Until nothing, left to know
So confused, which way to go
Passion rules, knowledge flows
Free at last, will to sew
Learning to unlearn
Forgive the lost, the tragedies
Forget the past, trivialities
Find the new, trajectories
Rising from the burn
It started, so long ago
A battle, for a brighter glow
Illusions, no more control
Until nothing, left to know
Step in line and play your part
There for you to wake and start
Call it a dream or star
So much left to do
Yes it’s true, it won’t be easy
Finding all your, hidden pieces
Where it goes, beyond deceiving
A joke discovered new
It started, so long ago
A battle, for your soul
Illusions, no more control
Until nothing, left to know
