Let The Game Begin
The Statue is cracked. The Boys have done their job.
The King struggles against his fate, fighting for his own.
The Queen waits for the first pawn to move, so that she may disappear as she does.
The Right Bishop screams & rages for blood to spill. How dare anyone keep her from her king!
The Left Bishop writes for Death & waits for the kill.
The Knights both move, ready for battle.
The Right Rook brushes off the snow & stands prepared for the war.
The Left Rook waits for her Father's Sickle to fall, to punish those who would tamper with Death.
The King's Pawn argues her place;
The Queen's Pawn torments the King.
The 3rd Pawn stays close by the King's Pawn's side.
The 4th Pawn plays her music & waits for her move.
The 5th Pawn hides in houses dark.
The 6th Pawn frets as disease ravages her home.
The 7th Pawn sits at the side of her man, despite how she fears what he will do next.
The 8th Pawn takes the time to master the mind & how the minds of others tick.
The First Side of the board is Set.
The Statue is cracked.
Only Yours are in danger. Only Yours have need fear.
You have crossed the line.
Place your final piece. We are all done.
Putting the Queen's life in danger was the last thing you'll do.
Madam Magician, wait for your end. He's coming for you.
