Playing the Game — текст песни (Gentle Giant)

As I hold the key to the back door
of the world I feel my
Hand touching bounds never had before.
I can view the power of my position and my
eyes can see more than anyone in any place,
I`ll play the game and never ever lose.

I`m the king in fighting competition
and the other pieces
are there for my art and my tactics now.
All my games are won before they`re played for
I have planned that no opposition can stage a fight
I`ll play the game and never ever lose.

My thoughts never spoken only the
visions inside my head the truth never broken
within my silent words left unsaid.

I will steer the helm of all the nation
as the captain
take my rewards for all the good I`m doing now,
and no words that I`m the knave will alter my
philosophy for if any are heard, the games started
again I`ll never ever lose.
