Lyrics:

The trial is set before us
And its hard to understand
The mechanics of this world we tread
The potential in our hands
Truth is born in uncertain stages
And in turn life will reveal
That though we stand before the crown
The future is concealed

So we must move to face our enemies
And to each of us his own
Perspectives change across the board
As the last among us knows
And I am proud of what I've sacrificed
And I am proud of what I've saved
In commitment to a greater good
Strength grows from splintered faith

And if the darkness falls upon me
In the silence of my heart
And if the world turns to abandon
I will not fall apart
For I believe in something deeper
Than the physics that we share
And I will strive with all my power
To reach the 8th and final square

For in every evil and every loss
A finer verity unfolds
You are free to face this trepidation
And with your weakness grow
For the strongest bones are broken
And the soul needs to redeem
With courage face the thing you fear
So the pawn becomes the queen

I go inside the darkness
I go within the light
I find the open spaces
My world is black and white
