Queen Alia

"The Mother of Shadows"

Intro

(Soft piano, distant choir)

In the halls where the lost souls wander,

Where the flames kiss the endless night...

There is a name whispered in silence,

A shadow hiding from the light.

Not a demon.

Not a legend.

Not a ghost they can erase...

A queen forgotten by the ages,

A crown hidden beneath the veil of grace.

Verse 1

Eleven feet above the ashes,

A figure walks where nightmares sleep.

Jet-black rivers fall behind her,

Secrets buried far too deep.

A crow's mask hides the eyes of thunder,

A velvet voice that chills the air.

Feathers trail across the darkness,

Like a warning: "Do not dare."

They built their kingdoms out of chaos,

They carved their names into the stone...

But every soul beneath this kingdom

Knows the throne was never theirs alone.

Pre-Chorus

Before the fire.

Before the fall.

Before they answered Hell's own call...

There was a queen.

There was a name.

There was a shadow holding every flame.

Chorus

I am the Mother of Shadows,

The queen you thought was gone.

The hand that held the darkness

Before your war was won.

I don't need a crown of gold,

I don't need your praise.

I've ruled through endless centuries,

I've walked through endless flames.

Fear me if you must,

Bow if you choose...

But remember this forever:

Hell was mine to lose.

(QUEEN ALIA!)

Verse 2

They call me "Mother" in the darkness,

They whisper it beneath their breath.

Strange, the ones who fear my power

Find comfort in my silhouette.

I could bring a storm of shadows,

I could make the heavens fall...

But kindness is the weapon

That they never saw at all.

The strongest monsters aren't the cruelest,

The fiercest hearts can still protect.

Even queens with deadly power

Can show the world respect.

Pre-Chorus

A thousand voices call my name,

A thousand souls remember pain...

But behind the veil and shadowed eyes,

A gentle heart still survives.

Chorus 2

I am the Mother of Shadows,

The ruler of the deep.

The queen who guards the broken,

The secrets Hell will keep.

My feathers hide the thunder,

My whispers shake the ground.

For every soul that lost their way,

My kingdom still surrounds.

I have worn the crown of darkness,

I have carried every scar...

And even in the endless night,

I remain the brightest star.

(QUEEN ALIA!)

Bridge

(Choir rises)

A fallen angel took the throne,

But he was never truly alone...

For beneath the ash, beneath the flame,

Still remains the first queen's name.

No bloodline.

No connection.

No story that he can rewrite.

I was here before the darkness.

I was here before the night.

Final Chorus

I am the Mother of Shadows,

The queen you thought was gone.

The hand that held the darkness

Before your war was won.

Let the sinners tell their stories,

Let the legends twist and bend...

I have watched a thousand kingdoms rise,

And watched a thousand end.

So step into the darkness,

Hear the echoes call...

For the queen who came before them

Still remembers it all.

(QUEEN ALIA!)

Outro

(Whispered)

"Call me monster.

Call me queen.

But if you need a mother...

I'll be there in the shadows."
