[Intro – haunting organ, distant thunder] Shadows dance in the candlelight Blood red roses bloom in the night [Verse 1 – heavy distorted riffs, orchestral strings] A crown of thorns upon my brow The ancient oath I take it now Red eyes burning through the haze Lost within this gothic maze [Verse 2 – double kick drums, soaring choir] Velvet lace and iron chains Sorrow flowing through my veins Candles flicker on the wall Waiting for the dark to fall [Pre-Chorus – building tension, staccato strings] The silence screams your name In this eternal game The fire starts to rise Behind these hollow eyes [Chorus – epic orchestration, maximum power] I am the queen of the silent halls Where the crimson tear forever falls Breaking the seal of the sacred tomb Ruling the night in the heart of doom [Verse 3 – chugging guitars, dark atmosphere] Ruby stones and raven hair Fragrance of death is in the air Gothic arches reach so high Underneath a blood-stained sky [Pre-Chorus 2 – building tension, staccato strings] The silence screams your name In this eternal game The fire starts to rise Behind these hollow eyes [Chorus 2 – epic orchestration, maximum power] I am the queen of the silent halls Where the crimson tear forever falls Breaking the seal of the sacred tomb Ruling the night in the heart of doom [Bridge – slow piano, operatic vocalizing] From the ashes of the past This reign was built to last No more mercy, no more light Only the cold and endless night [Solo – shredding guitar, pipe organ duel] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus 3 – full symphonic explosion] I am the queen of the silent halls Where the crimson tear forever falls Breaking the seal of the sacred tomb Ruling the night in the heart of doom [Outro – fading organ, single bell toll] The throne is mine alone Heart of ice and soul of stone
