Queen of Desire
Ostrogoth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's here again, I'm really insane.
She has the power to enter my soul.
No one escapes her, I'm losing control!
She's dressed.
in black, a real spider.
Ànd they call her the queen of desire.
I met her at midnight, a smile on her face, a magical ride, so we walked into space, She has that terrible look in her eyes!
Please, take a chance on me.
What's the use, Iill die tomorrow.
But today: a last recall of my life; future please, I lean on you!!
When she comes ready for me, What should I cry for another day?
She's a winner, she's a killer.
No one can deny, and she's there, taking me high.
Please stay with me!
Don't you mess too long with me 'cause our love should die.
You see, she only plays a game.
In her dreams she enjoyed that I crashed so mean.
That girl, God, she just got seventeen!
Hey butcher, pray for the hell ín my life.
What should I care for, cause in 24 hours I'm in heaven, in hell: to me a final escape, the end (takin' me high).
Please stay with me!
Do you feel the pain that's...
The lyrics to Ostrogoth's song Queen of Desire depict the singer's obsession with a woman who has a powerful hold over him, driving him to the brink of insanity. The pain he feels is palpable and consuming, while the woman is portrayed as a black widow, a queen of desire who is impossible to resist. The singer admits to being lost in her spell, unable to escape her grasp, even though she is like a poison that is slowly killing him.
The singer's plea to take a chance on him falls on deaf ears, a foreshadowing of his impending doom. He wonders if crying would help, knowing that there is no escape from the queen of desire. He is aware that she is a winner and a killer with an insatiable appetite, taking him higher and higher until he reaches the point of no return.
The final verse reveals the singer's acceptance of his fate, whether it be heaven or hell, as a final escape from the queen of desire. He can't help but plead with her to stay even though he knows that their love should die. It's a dark, twisted love story of obsession and ultimate sacrifice.

Please stay with me!
Once again, I implore you to remain with me.
