\"\"<\/p>\n

An unequal world served as her beckoning,<\/p>\n

It was an everyday battle for her every right,<\/p>\n

She vowed to be a queen in the tyranny of the king.<\/p>\n

Looking for passages and tunnels for hiding,<\/p>\n

She moved silently in the cover of the night.<\/p>\n

The unequal world served as her beckoning.<\/p>\n

Knew when to attack and when to take a swing,<\/p>\n

To come back and live for another fight,<\/p>\n

She’d be a queen in the tyranny of the king.<\/p>\n

She spent her time training and waiting, biding,<\/p>\n

Taught herself lessons from a helpful knight.<\/p>\n

The unequal world would surely cause her beckoning,<\/p>\n

Paid her dues and hellfire she did bring,<\/p>\n

The guards and the king froze at the sight.<\/p>\n

She knew she’d be a queen in the tyranny of the king.<\/p>\n

She christened herself Queen at her own crowning,<\/p>\n

With the blessing of the universe under the starlight,<\/p>\n

In an unequal world, which served as her beckoning,<\/p>\n

She was the queen in a tyranny of the king.<\/p>\n
