The Joker and the Queen of Hearts

The Queen of Hearts is dead and gone
By her hand she was slain
The Prince stands like a statue
Quietly crying in the rain

Work calls to the ruler
Like the lyres to the bards
As the King takes on the task
Of informing the other cards

Two looks on in horror
Of the bloodshed that was wrought
Three sreams out to heaven
'Everything's for naught'

Four sits in a corner
And sadly hangs his head
Five now wishes with all his heart
That he was also dead

Six can barely hang on
He will really miss the Queen
Seven sees her spirit
As he can see more than is seen

Eight runs to the forest
And cries beneath a tree
Nine stares out forlornly
But he knows the Queen is free

Ten retreats to darkness
And will not show his face
That leaves one last card...
The little lonely Ace

Ace will know the story
He will search and seek and find
Nothing will deter him
Or ever change his mind

The story that he found out
It can be told like this
It involves a handsome lover
And our stunning Queen of bliss

There was a man of high degree
Funny, smart, and quite a looker
And though it was degrading
His mother named him Joker

The Queen, though she was married,
Fell into his arms
The Joker was a mischievous man
And only planned her harms

The Queen had truly loved him
And she would not let go
The Joker tore her heart to bits
And all the rest you know

She ended her life in her depression
To end her throbbing pain
And as I have said before
Prince Jack stands in the rain

The cards all stand in silence
As she descends into the ground
And her lover and her killer
Is locked up, chained and bound

But these are not your average chains
He's bound by things above
Cause now he knows with all his heart
He's killed his one true love

The Joker did not think
He could love someone
He broke the hearts of many
And thought it all good fun

But this time it was differnt
Maybe he changed with age
Because now that his Queen is gone
He's locked up in this cage

He wishes he could turn back time
Repeat and start again
But Nature will not have it
It's not part of the plan

And so the Joker takes his life
To join his missing Heart
And now that they're together
They shall never part
