The Red Queen and the White Queen sit head to head

The White Queen said “it’s time to head to bed

For the day is far spent and the night is long

We face life in the power of the strong.”

As the Queens hold sway over all that is riven

Hearts shattered and peace forcibly given

To the majesties of the heavenly realms

Who wait in patient sitting to awaken their dreams

Love passed over and they mourn its passing

Like two lovers lost in the final crossing

Of the Styx that will conquer all their vision

And leave only the memory of their divisions

The power of the Black King runs in their veins

Washing out the poison of the blood that stains

And giving courage to face the coming strife

As war breaks out and they are fighting for the life

That is certainly theirs in all the coming ages

And brings them restless to the comforting pages

Of the Black Book, the place of the final doom

Of all evil that will in the end spell the end of gloom.
