She waits where roots run deep
Crowned in silence
Veiled in pain
The forest bends to her command

I stepped where no one dares to go
Where thorns like teeth begin to grow
She rose in mist and moonless light
A shadow crowned in black and white

Her gaze was fire, her voice was rust
She turned my fear to ancient dust

Queen of Thorns, she speaks in scars
Her truth cuts deeper than the stars
Kneel or run, obey or burn
From her decree, there's no return

She asked me what I came to find
Then ripped the lies out from my mind
Each word she spoke a ringing blade
Each breath I drew a choice unmade

My heart beat fast, my voice was gone
She ruled the dark I wandered on

Queen of Thorns, she speaks in scars
Her truth cuts deeper than the stars
Kneel or run, obey or burn
From her decree, there's no return

Blood on leaves, and roots that feel
Speak the vow or break the seal
Breathe her name and bear the mark
Light the fire or feed the dark

Queen of Thorns, I hear, I see
The forest lives and speaks through me
Crown of roots, throne made of stone
I faced her, and I'm not alone

She waits
She reigns
She remembers
