[Verse 1]
The Queen of Hearts she stands alone, purveying all she sees
Trapped inside the player's 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Careful where you tread
You may lose your head

[Chorus]
To the red Queen
The red Queen, Queen of Hearts
She is the red Queen
The red Queen, Queen of Hearts

[Verse 2]
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 chequerboard
Until the Red King takes his place, the victor and her lord

[Pre-Chorus]
Careful where you tread
You may lose your head
[Chorus]
To the red Queen
The red Queen, Queen of Hearts
She is the red Queen
The red Queen, Queen of Hearts

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Careful where you tread
You may lose your head

[Bridge]
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
Around and 'round we spin again until the curtain drops
Curtain drops
Curtain drops
Curtain drops
Curtain drops
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
[Verse 1]
The Queen of Hearts she stands alone, purveying all she sees
Trapped inside the player's 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Careful where you tread
You may lose your head

[Chorus]
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 (Oh-oh)
The red Queen, Queen of Hearts
She is the red Queen (Oh-oh)
She is the red Queen, Queen of Hearts
(Oh-oh)
