Queensrÿche - Queen of the Reich

In the dead of night
She'll come and take you away
Searing beams of light and thunder
Over blackened plains
She will find her way

Flying high through the night
She will hide your fate
As she takes your soul from under
And the blinding light of the castle fades

There is no escape
It's the ending of your precious life

Your soul slipped away
It belongs to the Queen of the Reich
The Queen of the Reich
Yeah she's coming for you

You're fading away
Your life cast astray
A victim the beast shall obtain

The light will not shine
For you'll die tonight at her shrine
And black is the last thing you'll see

Over and over
Dreams of dying fill your head
It's the sign of the cross
That you'll find ahead

No one will answer
The light is fading away
Captive souls are screaming out in pain

There is no escape
It's the ending of your precious life

Your soul slipped away
It belongs to the Queen of the Reich
You're fading away, no, no, no
The Queen of the Reich
You're slipping away, yeah
The Queen of the Reich

This song and the lady wore black are my favorite queensryche songs.

This song always takes me back to the first time I heard this album in 1983 when I was on leave from the Navy and home visiting friends in Shreveport LA, a fella named Kevin Parker pulled this album out of it's dust jacket and played it for us. WOW, Lead singer Tate sure had a set of golden pipes! Been a fan ever since. Operation Mind Crime was Badass as well!

What an amazing first ep by these guys! I was hooked immediately. Could have done without all the drama which would follow down the road, but damn did I love this band, still do despite all the change. Nice video.

[danielnewhouse]

I did at one point, figure out to play this, given that the timing in the sheet music was wrong.
