Dark Queen Lyrics

Ohh beautiful queen of the damned
how i long for your immortal kiss
your sweet reapers embrace
your dark powers revealed in the light of the full moon
the trees whispering terrible secrets of your quest
for the blood of innocent children
I want to be your lover
and dwell forever in the shadow of death

she was a beautiful creature
sweet and tender
she was a queen of hearts
but one dark eve she went dancing in a dark graveyard
with the prince of lies
she had a date with the nosfuratu
the mourning star
her bright red heart turning black
and her hungry blood began to grow

she is the hunter
a terrible creature
of the night

she was a picture of heavenly divinity
untill she sold her soul

the purest of pure
she became the nights whore
his lover to the end of time
the cold in her eyes
makes men want to die in her sweet embrace
she became the kiss of death
and now her sweet breath
has been defiled

she is the hunter
a terrible creature
of the night

she embodied angelic purity
then she was taken by the worm

a dark choir of banshees
singing and dancing with songs of her cold cruelty
she resides with her lord in the pit beyond the tenth gate

such a beautiful agony
is her snow-white face
across blasted wastelands
she seeks her victims
leaving a river of blood
that rages in crimson torrents of horror

my blasphemous angel
devouring the lives of the prophets of Abel

a beautiful queen now terrible and cruel
drinking the blood of the lamb
a scourge to the mortal man
make me your lover
make me forever

the queen of the night rides forth
a harbinger of more terrible beings to come
from the depth, from the time before time
