Lyrics:
Figures fly across a moonlit bay
Without a sound a figure slips away
Terror strikes a child inside my soul
Shadow Thief will soon play a role
Silent assassin clothed in black
Who will play the pawn in his next attack
Many men have lost their lives
at the hands of Shadow Thief
A master of an ancient skill handed down by priests
Trained in every weapon
known to man and known to beast
Shadow Thief becomes the night
The night becomes Shadow Thief
Silent assassin clothed in black,
I can see his next attack
A dozen men have all gathered round
One by one they hit the ground
Shadow Thief cannot be found
Many men have lost their lives
at the hands of Shadow Thief
A master of an ancient skill handed down by priests
Trained in every weapon
known to man and known to beast
Shadow Thief becomes the night
The night becomes Shadow Thief
Unit #12, we have a code #3 at Mayborne and Blythe
Suspect may be dangerous, we suggest extreme caution
Base, Unit #12 has spotted suspect
Seems to be climbing the wall like a fly
I've never seen anything like it
One moment, Base, suspect somehow vanished
The shadow figure is gone, gone, gone, gone

LYRICS
She's a woman
She got wisdom and magic
And she's never leaving the night
If you dare to look in her wild flashing eyes
You feel what it means to be free
She's riding the black wind
Controlling the wolves
Turning the night into fire
The dead and the living are under her spell
There is no escape from her call
'Cos She's a Wizard Queen
I'm forever damned in your claws
She's a Wizard Queen
Since she's taken me under control
For such a long time
I've been longing to ride
With a Queen of my dreams side by side
I saddled my horse
I polished my sword
To join with her armies of night
I'm laying my heart forever in your hands
I'm swearing my holy oath on steel
In drinking the blood you gave to me
I'm leaving the whole world behind
You're a Wizard Queen
I'm forever damned in your claws
You're a Wizard Queen
Since you are taken me under control
You're the one I need to be free
You are the one who knows what's inside me
You're the star that has been shining through my life
I live and fight for you
I live and die for you
She's riding the black wind
Controlling the wolves
Turning the night into fire
The dead and the living are under her spell
There is no escape from her call
'Cos She's a Wizard Queen
I'm forever damned in your claws
She's a Wizard Queen
Since she's taken me under control
Riding up to the sky
Fall like thunder and fire
Riding, riding and riding again
