Lyrics:

She is queen alone in the human zone,
dethroned the king unpure.
The masses were assured.
she fought without a sword.
She regained their hope and faith.

Draining the liar in the crimson water.
To bring him eternal pain.
His soul is slaughtered.
Eternalizing bane.
Scream in silence,
no one shall hear his cries encaged.
The unroyal king,
surrended to the child of life divine.

A hundred fortnights passed
but still no signs of ageing.
Her endless youth...
amazed, the world was raging.
A shattered race in this broken land
this child came to restore,
like an order from the gods.

The queen and all the children gathered
around the chambers where the elder ones
are joined in sleep profound.
In wrath she crush the tanks of crystal glass.
The crimson water gushed on to the ground
in the unholy Macecration.
Their souls no longer cried.
DIE!
Their gifts of life denied.

Aaaarrrrf!

She drinks the life-blood from the feebled man.
Empty bodies, soul-drained by the virgin queen.
Finally given the pleasure to die.

She aligns the hate inside their hearts.
Her chosen knights will make sure all life departs.
Soon comes the end of all.
She watched a chamber fall.
She heard her master call.
"Live my words, oh, sacred child."
"You're soon to leave this world defiled."
-"Then what awaits me my lord?"
"Trust me my child,
your wishes shall not be ignored."
And then he spoke his mind, now his will is hers.
"The earth shall fall."
"The eternal curse is cast on the sands they walk."

"Now you must show your power.
Show the human race you are the one.
Use their trust forever
and then deceive their weakened minds.
Fool them to destroy themselves in hopelessness.
Belie their seeds, belie their dreams.
'All hope has ceased to be.'"

The people worshiped their queen.
Such beauty before her time was unseen.
Their were fooled by her presence and disguise.
Faithfully they listened and swallowed all her lies.

"The times are changing,
re-arranging the pattern of our lives.
So let your heart stop beating
beneath this twisted sky."

They were embraced by sadness,
but not afraid to die.

"So pass this sacred dagger
and let yourself fly free.
So pretend that you are dreaming
and rise above this world of you and me."

LIAR!

All those who died with you by their side
were denied access to the higher ground.

BETRAYAL!

Eternal detest from the ones left unblessed, so possessed.
Their last caress was your knife in their hearts.

Fed from her deed, watching them bleed.
In her own conceit, a world to delete, lies at her feet.
Her demon inside do no longer hide.
Showing its face of hate and disgrace,
leaving their saviour unpraised.
