In the shadow of the ancient spire
Where whispers chill the midnight air
A queen in black her heart's desire
With eyes that burn a thousand stares
Blood on her lips a crimson feast
The maiden's cry the raven's call
She dances through the night the beast
A crown of death upon them all
In the dark we feel her presence
Cold as winter sharp as blades
A ghostly queen of death's essence
Bound to shadows bound to graves
Silent steps through haunted halls
A cruel queen's grin beneath her shroud
She waits to hear the morning calls
From voices lost within the crowd
Her kingdom built on endless nights
A realm of souls a kingdom torn
Her cruel reign feeds upon their fright
Forever cursed forever scorned
Ring-a-ring o' roses
A pocket full of posies
Ashes ashes we all fall down
In the dark we feel her presence
Cold as winter sharp as blades
A ghostly queen of death's essence
Bound to shadows bound to graves
In the dark we feel her presence
Cold as winter sharp as blades
A ghostly queen of death's essence
Bound to shadows bound to graves
Her laughter fades her reign decays
But still she haunts these endless ways
A child's song her final claim
Ashes to ashes in her name
In the dark we feel her presence
Cold as winter sharp as blades
A ghostly queen of death's essence
Bound to shadows bound to graves
Her laughter fades her reign decays
But still she haunts these endless ways
A child's song her final claim
Ashes to ashes in her name
Her laughter fades her reign decays
But still she haunts these endless ways
A child's song her final claim
Ashes to ashes in her name
