Warrior Queen

Cold, cold blackness my blood is frozen
Murky depths of despair, oh God why was I chosen
To feel this need so deep so strong
Help me please to be resolute and to prolong.
As night surrounds me cold cuts my skin
The grimace of my countenance a reflection of my sin

I seek the will to fight your hold
But myths and legend have foretold
Of she whose destiny is to become
Whore of the damned, Queen of the shunned

I scream and writhe in spiritual pain
And from my suffering I rise again
To watch upon a kingdom of fear
As a Goddess, a ruler and Almighty Seer

My minions rise and fight for me
The battle of life our victory
Around us lie bodies bloodied and broken
We end this day with emotion unspoken

All terror and darkness now flees from our land
At night we sing and our sacrifices are grand
We embrace each other in our freedom dance
We acknowledge the legend and vow allegiance

I now am almighty and I raise my sword high
As my kingdom pledges their oath to the sky
You are our Queen and forever will be
As we celebrate with you our eternal destiny
