Queen of the Masquerade
Crimson Glory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woman, madame of mystery
Heaven's angel, devil's daughter
Lady, black widow strange and cruel
Is it true?

Do you still need hearts to bleed
To be satisfied?
Gathering prey, deadly webs
Hang in dark disguise
Showing no mercy, insatiable appetite
Down, down to your knees
Bow before her majesty

(Hail) to the queen of the masquerade
Deep in your heart she feeds
(Hail) to the queen of the masquerade
Bow to her majesty

Look out

Slowly, crawling feeding on your heart
(So many kings with broken dreams)
(The tyrants gruel, the dragon pleads)
Tell you man she'll tear you all apart
(In chambers of the wicked queen)
(The silence falls, the feast begins)

Moon-shining eyes, clinging cobwebs above her bed
Spider smooth legs across faces on silken web
Feeling the sting of her venomous clinching bite
Down, down to your knees
Bow before her majesty

(Hail) to the queen of the masquerade
Deep in your heart she feeds
(Hail) to the queen of the masquerade
Bow to her majesty

(Her majesty, queen)

Do you still need hearts to bleed
To be satisfied?
Gathering prey, deadly webs
Hang in dark disguise
Showing no mercy, insatiable appetite
Down, down to your knees
Bow before her majesty

(Hail) to the queen of the masquerade
Deep in your heart she feeds
(Hail) to the queen of the masquerade
Bow to her majesty

(Hail) to the queen of the masquerade
Deep in your heart she feeds
(Hail) to the queen of the masquerade
Bow to her majesty





(Hail) to the queen of the masquerade
Hard in your heart that bleeds

Overall Meaning

"Queen of the Masquerade" by Crimson Glory is a song about a seductive and dangerous woman who ensnares her prey in deadly webs. She is described as the "Madame of mystery" and the "Heavens anger, devils daughter" - a figure of immense power and enigma. The lyrics suggest that this woman is on a never-ending quest for hearts to bleed, insatiable in her appetite for destruction. The chorus is an ode to the queen herself, urging the listener to bow before her majesty, even as she destroys everything in her path. The imagery is dark and foreboding, with references to spiders, venom, and cobwebs, all contributing to a sense of fear and unease.


Overall, the song could be seen as a cautionary tale about the dangers of obsession and desire, warning against the allure of those who might use their power to manipulate and control. The lyrics ask whether the queen still needs hearts to bleed to be satisfied, implying that her motives are rooted in a deep and unquenchable thirst for destruction. Yet even as she is portrayed as a monstrous figure, the lyrics also suggest that there is something irresistible about her - a pull that draws people in despite the danger.
