The fog breaks open its tattered cloak
Revealing a broken queen upon earths trembling body
Her crown the only witness to her lonely pride
Surrounded by nuclear lilies, she watches
Gazing through hardened, stone eyes at her jester
Dancing round in circles through the tide of time
Holding out her snowy hand so soft
Waiting in great depression for her kings return
To the ground falls her splintering crown
For now she stands upon her mound of cards
Queens of hearts; laying without rosy face
A forest of thorns surrounding her; still Nobel and blind
The bodies of her children lay row on row
Still she waits as the sun does slowly die
Left all alone without her love; without a friend
The ground once lush; now barren and dry
Waiting for an eternity, her sorrow secretly kept
For all those broken nights, to the ground she softly wept
