Mistress of Black Thorns (Tribute)

[verse] In the dark, where reeking bodies lay In the dark we stalked our savage prey In the dark they burned and choked for our agenda We never gave anyone a chance to surrender When from the echoing tunnels, look now How sin and black ash adorns her brow With strange catlike beast writhing at her side With seductive face the ashes fail to hide [Chorus] Who is she who glides with grace, With evil eyes and painted face? Behold the cruelty, wickedness and scorn Behold the Mistress of Black Thorns [verse] With words of ancient, blackened hate She cursed the savages to horrid fate They choked, they writhed, they screamed, they died But yet her vengeance wasn’t satisfied [Chorus] Who is she who glides with grace, With evil eyes and painted face? Behold her beauty, but all who hear be warned She is the Mistress of Black Thorns [bridge] They dared to hold her ‘gainst her will Her magic broke her free, now she yearns to kill They’ll pay for what they did to her The Mistress will come. Of that I’m sure [drum solo] [verse] She found their tribe in a vast cave This would be the revenge she craves She summoned her field of blackened thorns To shred them all, their blood, their bones. [Chorus] Who is she who glides with grace, With evil eyes and painted face? Behold the cruelty, but be prepared to mourn Behold the Mistress of Black Thorns
