Skeletband - Невеста
текст песни

In an instant, a gloom engulfed the valley;
The people fell before the Viceroy of Night.
The black mage turned summer into winter;
The world teetered on the brink of famine and blight.

It was not for gold he came, nor for power;
It was for *her* that he unleashed the dark.
Only *she* could lift the storm in that hour—
By sealing a ghastly pact with the warlock.

She walked into the arms of the darkness herself,
Leaving all the light behind her wake;
To the altar she went, in a gown of pure white—
And there was no turning back for her sake.

From her own world, she stepped into a strange one,
So that her people might see the dawn once more;
For the sake of them all, the bride was ready
To accept the hellish bouquet of black roses.

The Queen walked toward the black citadel,
Having embraced the darkness for her people's sake;
She would never return to them again—
The lady had chosen the path her destiny would take.

She had received the crown—her inheritance—
After the death of her tyrant father;
She was nothing like him! She ruled with her heart,
And remained just and fair until the very end.

She walked into the arms of the darkness herself,
Leaving all the light behind her wake;
To the altar she went, in a gown of pure white—
And there was no turning back for her sake.

From her own world, she stepped into a strange one,
So that her people might see the dawn once more;
For the sake of them all, the bride was ready
To accept the hellish bouquet of black roses.

She was wedded to the black mage,
And the gloom lifted from the world above;
The poor souls greeted the light with hope—
Yet she herself was stripped of all light and love.

The darkness stained her gown of pure white;
Only her soul remained beyond its command;
The Queen pays not in gold for her people—
Her own sacrifice is the price she pays for the land.

She walked into the arms of the darkness herself,
Leaving all the light behind her wake;
To the altar she went, in a gown of pure white—
And there was no turning back for her sake.

From her own world, she stepped into a strange one,
So that her people might see the dawn once more;
For the sake of them all, the bride was ready
To accept the hellish bouquet of black roses.
