Lyrics
From the grave she'll rise, a Queen of the Dead
Emergence of a deceased queen with supernatural power
Bringing forth a force of hell-spawn
Summoning a demonic army
There's no hope for us, the Empress of Dread
A sense of impending doom under the rule of a dread empress
Damning us all to a dark dawn
Cursing all to a dark and ominous future
Thunder rolling
Symbolic of approaching danger
Lightning crashing down
Intensity and chaos reinforcing the dark theme
Fallen angel
Reference to a fallen angel, possibly the dead queen
Bear thy crown
Commanding authority and power
Rising from the ashes
Rebirth and the constant struggle to survive
We must run, just to stay in place
The difficulty of progress in the face of adversity
Fly as lightning crashes
Speed and urgency in the face of danger
Run to live, to win the Dead Queen's Race
Survival and competition in the context of the dead queen's influence
I am returned, lift the veil off my grave
The queen announcing her return from death
Hail the queen of fallen heroes
Recognition and reverence for the revived queen
I command you all, both weak and the brave
Commanding all, irrespective of strength or bravery
Witness the world in its death throes
Observing the world's demise under her rule
Thunder rolling
Repetition of natural phenomena intensifying the narrative
Lightning crashing down
Symbolism of fallen heroes and their crown
Fallen heroes
Highlighting the fallen heroes under the queen's reign
Behold the crown
An exhortation to witness the queen's authority
Rising from the ashes
Reiterating the theme of rebirth and the struggle for survival
We must run, just to stay in place
Emphasizing the perpetual challenge to maintain one's position
Fly as lightning crashes
Speed and urgency as a recurring motif
Run to live, can't win the Dead Queen's Race
The impossibility of winning in the competition set by the dead queen
Ancient forces
Reference to ancient, unstoppable forces
Breaking out
The emergence and dominance of death
Death enforces
Irrefutable enforcement of death
Leaves no doubt
Absolute certainty in the face of death
Endless and ancient
Describing the endless and ancient reign of the queen
The queen reigns!
The enduring and unbridled authority of the queen
Timeless and ageless
Highlighting the timeless and ageless nature of the queen's power
Unchained!
The queen's unrestrained and uncontrolled influence
Thunder rolling
Repetition of natural phenomena, reinforcing the ominous atmosphere
Lightning crashing down
Symbolism of a fallen angel and the burden of authority
Fallen angel
Reiteration of the fallen angel, emphasizing the crown
Bear thy crown
Commanding recognition of the fallen angel's authority
Rising from the ashes
Continuation of the theme of rebirth and resilience
You must run, just to stay in place
The perpetual struggle to maintain one's position
Fly as lightning crashes
Speed and urgency as a persistent element
Run to live, can't win the Dead Queen's Race
The futility of winning in the competition set by the dead queen
