[Intro] (Dark choir chanting in ancient tones) (Hurdy-gurdy drones, low and menacing) [Verse 1] Deep beneath the twisted bough Where silent moss and shadow weave A queen of elder blood and bone Awaits the foolish who believe Her voice is soft, her breath is cold A velvet snare within the dark She calls your name through misty gloom To claim the ember of your spark [Chorus] Bow your head to the Queen of the Night Step right into her deadly embrace No moonlight falls on the mossy stone floor No path remains for you to retrace The dark choir sings as the branches groan An ancient hunger in fairy-ringed stones [Verse 2] Her fingers cold as autumn rain Reach out to brush your trembling chin A predator in silk Her sacred ritual begins The elder wood forgets your name The roots drink deep of mortal breath An intimacy tied to fear A slow surrender unto death [Chorus] Bow your head to the Queen of the Night Step right into her deadly embrace No moonlight falls on the mossy stone floor No path remains for you to retrace The dark choir sings as the branches groan An ancient hunger in fairy-ringed stones [Bridge] (Chant grows louder, menacing and predatory) Sanguis, terra, noctis regina... Bound to the dirt, bound to the crown... [Outro] The woods grow still, the shadows close in Another soul to moss and stone The fairy queen ascends her throne Forever dark... forever...alone... (Hurdy-gurdy fades into low choir drone)
