Saxon - Queen of Hearts lyrics

The Queen of hearts she stands alone Purveying all she sees Trapped inside the players web Of cunning and deceit The bishop in his corner kneels Praying for her soul The knights are gathered at her side To watch the game unfold Careful where you tread You may lose your head To the red Queen The red Queen Queen of hearts She is the red Queen The red Queen Queen of hearts Like pawns we move and give our lives While she protects her king The rook will guard the tower gates To keep them all within The battle rages back and forth Across the chequered board Until the red King takes his place The victor and her lord Careful where you tread You may lose your head To the red Queen The red Queen Queen of hearts She is the red Queen The red Queen Queen of hearts Alice through the looking gla** The hatter waits below The rabbit checks his watch again Time is moving slow The red Queen lays upon her bed Dreaming of the game The Cheshire Cat sits high above Grinning at the knave Careful where you tread You may lose your head Take your partners for the dance Everyone must play The deadly game of cat and mouse No one gets away Time has no beginning The nightmare never stops Round and round we spin again Until the curtain drops The curtain drops The curtain drops The curtain drops The curtain drops The Queen of hearts she stands alone Purveying all she sees Trapped inside the players web Of cunning and deceit The bishop in his corner kneels Praying for her soul The knights are gathered at her side To watch the game unfold Careful where you tread You may lose your head To the red Queen The red Queen Queen of hearts She is the red Queen The red Queen Queen of hearts To the red Queen The red Queen Queen of hearts She is the red Queen She is the red Queen, queen of hearts
