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
