"Ravenna Strigoi Mortii" lyrics - DARK FUNERAL

DARK FUNERAL
"Ravenna Strigoi Mortii"

As the night opens, see your face in the shadow of the moon
I see your glimmering eyes, reflected by the glittering snow
Frozen winds whine over the silent landscape
The only sounds I hear are the strokes of your wings

[Chorus:]
Ravenna, strigoi mortii
Oh, countess in black
You who rides on stormy winds
Primeval goddess
Whose name is spoken with fear

Thunder roar, lightning strikes
Unlock your demon gate
Come forth, serpent's queen
Torture be thy name

[Bridge:]
I give to you this sacrifice
Take this child
Lend me one of your serpent eyes
To see beyond demon gates!

I invoke the flying goddess, come from the gorge of night
Spread your darkened wings and soar above the ground

[Chorus:]
Ravenna, strigoi mortii
Cast thy shadow over earth
In answer to my calls

Demonic beauty, I summon thee
Infernal mistress of the underworld
From the darkest depths of the abyss
That holds liege only for you
With your malice and your spite
We command the utter destruction of light
So come forth, serpent queen
Lend me your flame of hate
