[Exploitation] They raised her flag on foreign ground, Called her to silence all they'd found, They carved their maps with borrowed steel, Bled distant lands for what they'd steal, They praised her name in halls of gold, And left those lands in ash and mold. Did you wonder whose land burned that day? I'm the Spade Queen, you built my throne on what you chose to take away. Did you watch and let their borders fall? I'm the Spade Queen, your silence crowned me sovereign over all. [War] They move her pawns on glowing screens, Just collateral on balance sheets, A city fades, a number grows, They name the loss in sterile rows, They sit unmoved behind their walls, And send the war when hunger calls. Did you see them walk away from home? I'm the Spade Queen, your wandering junksouls lost the only world they'd ever known. Did you trust the hands that drew the line? I'm the Spade Queen, their names were dust before the orders reached the front line. [Collapse] Laws dissolve, the courts fall in line, The victor writes what's left behind, Their streets run cold with ash and dread, The living walking with the dead, She watches from above it all, Unmoved by every rise and fall. Did you sing to make your nation great? I'm the Spade Queen, you marched behind my blade and sealed your fate. Did you see the ruin that you paved? I'm the Spade Queen, the wreckage here is everything your hands have made. [Subjugation] They kneel beneath a borrowed sky, They swear new oaths they can't deny, Their future bends to foreign cause, Their grief is sewn into new laws, They trade their tongues for daily bread, And learn to praise the hands they dread. Did you think the war would fade with time? I'm the Spade Queen, I carve myself in every border, oath and sign. Did you hope the beaten would rise again? I'm the Spade Queen, I am the weight that breaks the backs of those who bend. [All I Take] Off with your everything, down to the breath you thought was yours to keep, I'm the Spade Queen, I take your memory, your future, till there's nothing left in you. I'm the silent Spade Queen, I'm the hollow Spade Queen, I'm the iron Spade Queen, I'm your endless Spade Queen. Endless Queen.
