Off with their heads

A shrill voice rung around the room

Enveloping their ears

Everyone flinched

The Queen, all angered eyes and graceful snarl

The prisoners were taken to the dungeon



Off, off with their heads

Some people flinch

Pushing their shoulders back

Pretending to be poised and unafraid

The prisoners were dragged away



Off with their heads

One person flinched

Off with their head

Everyone's eyes remained open and unfeeling

Not a flinch in sight
