  • 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 glass
    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 Writer/s: PETERY ROONEY BYFORD, TIMOTHY CARTER
