lyrics

DEATH: I have been walking by your side for a long time

KNIGHT: That I know.

DEATH: Are you prepared?

KNIGHT: My body is frightened, but I am not.

DEATH: Well, there is no shame in that.

KNIGHT: Wait a moment

DEATH: That's what they all say. I grant no reprieves.

KNIGHT: You play chess, don't you?

DEATH: How did you know that?

KNIGHT: I have seen it in paintings and heard it sung in ballads.

DEATH: Yes, in fact I'm quite a good chess player.

KNIGHT: The condition is that I may live as long as I hold out against you. If I win, you will release me. I sit agreed?

KNIGHT: This is my hand. I can move it, feel the blood pulsing through it. The sun is still high in the sky and I am playing chess with Death.

DEATH: You seem anxious. Are you hiding anything?

KNIGHT: Nothing escapes you _or does it?

DEATH: Nothing escapes me. No one escapes from me.

KNIGHT: It's true that I'm worried.

DEATH: Now I see something interesting.

DEATH: You are mated on the next move

KNIGHT: That's true.

DEATH: Did you enjoy your reprieve?

KNIGHT: Yes, I did.

DEATH: I'm happy to hear that. Now I'll be leaving you.
When we meet again, your time will be up.

KNIGHT: And you will divulge your secrets.

DEATH: I have no secrets.

KNIGHT: So you know nothing.

DEATH: I have nothing to tell.
