White as snow and red like blood
Is her skin and her lips are
Black like ebony her hair
Like the child's in fairytale
Yet just as black - her blood and heart
Winter's coming to the land
After the war had burnt it down
There stands it cold, there stands it far
A murky wood keeps lonesome watch
The fire burns within its heart
The laughter sounding in the night
Blue are the lightnings that flash soon
Washing the tower in their glow
And through the heat of flames resounds
A scream that pierces to the bone!
In the black tower she reigns alone!
(choir) Her breath can decimate mankind!
The queen...
Flap of her wings promises pain!
(choir) The black dragon - can you see it?
It is the queen...
Black magic shines from her eyes since
In this tower she's set foot
And it's difficult to believe
When one her today sees
That once she had been good
Hidden evil lay in wait
Down in the cold tomb
She found it trusting, careless
Black egg - guarded by a toad
Faithfully for hundreds years
Virgin's kiss broke the spell
And the beast returned again ...
