Chaos
A king in dispair
A queen unaware
The joker still jokes
The prince doesn't prepare
Everyone has a motive
Some just don't care
The assassin gets paid
To put people in fear
The commoners beg
The monk sees clear
As chaos takes place
Time will not spare
One single moment
You can feel it in the air
While some run away
Others foreswear
A castle in ruins
Lives in repair
Just to learn a lesson
To always beware!
