Lyrics

Ancient Queen

The Ancient Queen

Deadly hate, deadly love

Dark under the shadow

Death has been resisted

The Ancient Queen

Ruler of the domain

Keeper of the fury

The Queen dwells in shadow

Dark rivers run though me

Darkness follows everwhere

Kingdoms falling again and again

Crawl to thee over again

The Ancient Queen, the darkest woman

Stepping through her shadow

She who sees the soul

Black is her blood

Keeper of the fury

Stepping through her shadow

Do you see her soul?

Black is her blood

Keeper of the fury

Dark under the shadow

Thy destiny lies with her

The Ancient Queen

Ruler of the domain

Keeper of the fury

In shadow... shadow
