"Henry and Death" [2002]

Song: Knyazev (text), Gorsheniov (music, lead vocal)

Checkmate! Henry is glad! He is the king on a white horse. As always, at the court, there is no equal to him in chess. No victories – no happiness. Thus, in just a few years he ruined and defeated all whom he wanted.

Lives of the chessboard warriors in battles are being torn like hairs!

The moment came when there seemed to be no opponents left. He invited Death then and began to play with her.

Lives of the chessboard warriors in battles are being torn like hairs!

At the night full of thinking, all strategies are considered! The candles behind the back go out one by one: as Death sat down to play with him, she killed a horse by her gaze, targeting the throne of the white king. She knows his every move in advance, and she does not allow him to make a check. The battle is about to end.

Lives of the chessboard warriors in battles are being torn like hairs!

At the night full of thinking, all strategies are considered! The candles behind the back go out one by one. Henry looked up at her confusedly – he was not used to hearing the word "checkmate". He was in anger because he a pawn overthrew him.

Death did not explain anything.
