Warfare for some inexplicable reason has often been likened to the game of chess. The Middle Game is about that ludicrous notion.
lyrics
Stood like pieces on a chess board waiting for the next move
Across the board another space another way to get through
And so I wonder how could I compare this to a game
When I’m just hoping that that bullet doesn’t find it’s aim
Behind unopened doors the lines are drawn
Rules of engagement are defined
Castled kings are stood behind the pawns
Safe behind unopen lines this is the middle game
Another move another sacrifice to gain the ground
The common aim the sole design to take the other down
And still I wonder how could I compare this to a game
And we’re just hoping that we make it through into the end game
Behind unopened doors the lines are drawn
Rules of engagement are defined
Castled kings are stood behind the pawns
Safe behind unopen lines this is the middle game
Stood like pieces on a chess board waiting for the next move
Across the board another space another way to get through
I’m just hoping that that bullet doesn’t find it’s aim
We’re just hoping that we make it through into the end game
Stood like pieces on a chess board waiting for the next move
Across the board another space another way to get through
And so I wonder how could I compare this to a game
When I’m just hoping that that bullet doesn’t find it’s aim
Behind unopened doors the lines are drawn
Rules of engagement are defined
Castled kings are stood behind the pawns
Safe behind unopen lines
Behind unopened doors the lines are drawn
Rules of engagement are defined
Castled kings are stood behind the pawns
Safe behind unopen lines
This is the middle game

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock
