Chessboards (BBC In Concert - 22nd August 1986) - Killing Joke

We in our infancy led

Down shining paths

Shine shine shining paths

Divine our disillusion

Face our imperfection I

Begin to wonder

Onion peelings scattered we've

Been crying crying

Open our eyes and tears run down

I open my eyes and tears run down

I look through your mind

And tears run down

And under the skies and tears run down

Look at our condition stand on

Concrete dias

Lovers frail and naked move like

Pawns on chessboards

I had no idea I had no conception

Where have we all come from

Where are we all going

Open our eyes and tears run down

I open my eyes and tears run down

I look through your mind

And tears run down

And under the skies and tears run down

All these changes we shall witness

I will try to understand

Share your grief and your confusion

Compassion in us cries

Open our eyes and tears run down

I open my eyes and tears run down

I look through your mind and tears run down

And under the skies and tears run down
