Ajedrez y Depeche Mode fusionados en "Martyr"

Hace unos días hablaba de'Martyr', la nueva canción de Depeche Mode.

Precisamente acabo de fijarme detenidamente en la letra, y llevarme la grata sorpresa de que meten una referencia ajedrecística.

Si mi memoria no me falla, creo que es la primera referencia ajedrecística que Depeche Mode mete en sus letras tras más de 25 años en la pomada.

Vayamos con la letra en cuestión:

DEPECHE MODE lyrics - "Martyr"

I've been a martyr for love
And I will die in the flames
As I draw my last breath
As I'm close in on death
I will call out your name

I've been a martyr for love
Nailed up on the cross
While you're having your fun
As the damage is done
I'm assessing the cost

I knew what I was letting myself in for
I knew that I could never even the score

I've been a martyr for love
I need to be by your side
I have knelt at your feet
I have felt you deceit
Could have leave if I tried

I've been a martyr for love
Tortured every hour
From the day I was born
I've been moved like a pawn
By the greatest of powers

I knew that I would have to suffer in vain
A way that I would never outgrow the pain

I've been a martyr for love
I've been a martyr for love
I've been a martyr for love

Bonita convergencia! ;-)
