lyrics

Come to me now in your perfection, Goddess, the queen destroyer
Guide my hands dark huntress in my acts of aggression
Curse my enemies from my sight, bodies turned back to dust
Their names burned from the histories, scattered into the wind

In the dead of night, all alone out in the darkness
I can feel her presence resonating within
I can see the beast through the trees, hungering for my flesh
And he is brutally fast, but I am faster

I bathed in the blood of the kill
I took his hide and flesh
I returned to the elders
I returned a hero

She comes to me at night, the queen of my mortal world
Drunk on lust and wine, beautifully deceiving

In my good fortune, I not see the vipers
The daggers hidden under perfumed silk
And the oncoming darkness, soon approaching
Scoffed at in arrogance, pride my undoing

It had been decades since the night out in the forest
My kingdom stood mighty and strong
But the darkness came, destroying our defenses
And the knife came to find me in my back

As the steel found its mark, the final gates fell
Mistress of destruction, come to collect
