As the night opens, I 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 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, the serpent's queen Torture be thy name I give to you this sacrifice, take this child Lend me one of your serpent eyes To see beyond the demon gates! I invoke the flying goddess, come out from the gorge of night Spread your darkened wings and soar above the ground Ravenna, strigoi mortii Cast they shadow over earth in answer to my calls Demonic beauty, I summon thee The 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
