If it was easy we’d all be an ace
It’s not in the cards so we fight to save face
The game isn’t checkers so most say it’s chess
Those in the show know there’s more to address
Pieces get toppled and pieces get checked
Everyone watches and wonders what’s next
Step in arena I hope you’ve prepared
Cause no one is helping and nobody cares
Fight to the death to the victor all spoils
They thought it was harmless but this cauldron boils
It started a simmer, a heat gently rising
Then turned into something that’s uncompromising
Sweeping the slate till there’s nothing but embers
Barely still burning the world it remembers
Phoenix arises from ashes and dust
Left in its wake there is justice and trust
Treasures are not found at will overnight
To uncover them it requires foresight
Patience, poetic, in end it will be
Historically hinging on our history
How the World Should Work
