Checkmate

The forces are clear

They stand ready for action

A new day is here

Is it only a fraction

Of the time that we have to spend

Before we reach the end

Of our rainbows in the sky

Where the birds fly the winds of time

Is there escape or control for desire

Before the skies come alive with fire

Go on your way

To another day

The game plan is clear

Decision draws near

And I can't find a reason

Why
