River Queen Lyrics
Saw an angel been nailed to the cross
Down the dim river side
A woman cry be with me into the end of the light
Born a river queen to grace for land and hope
Laying on silver stones
To give to the poor
But god´s men came to land and took it all
Starlight mystic now paint the sky
Starlight mystic now lift her spirit high
(in) memories of a queen who was giving her love
Down the rivers end
What a vision and why the hell am I getting this
Her beauty is changing my mind
I promise you woman to tell them the story of thine
Truth or fairytale a raggle taggle crowe
screaming : Humanity
Was losing all senses in life when religon came in
Starlight mystic now paint the sky
Starlight mystic now lift her spirit high
(in) memories of a queen who was giving her love
Down the rivers end
Starlight mystic now paint the sky
Starlight mystic now lift her spirit high
(in) memories of a queen who was giving her love
Down the rivers end
Down the dim river side
A woman cry be with me into the end of the light
Laying on silver stones
To give to the poor
But god´s men came to land and took it all
Starlight mystic now lift her spirit high
(in) memories of a queen who was giving her love
Down the rivers end
Her beauty is changing my mind
I promise you woman to tell them the story of thine
screaming : Humanity
Was losing all senses in life when religon came in
Starlight mystic now lift her spirit high
(in) memories of a queen who was giving her love
Down the rivers end
Starlight mystic now lift her spirit high
(in) memories of a queen who was giving her love
Down the rivers end

Deep for Volbeat at this point, this is about religious oppression, the loss of innocence, and the significance of memory and love. It's the story of a river queen, an angelic figure, who ultimately falls victim to the greed and corruption of god's men. She is described as a woman, a selfless figure lying on silver stones to give to the poor. However, the arrival of god's men marks a turning point, where they take everything from her, implying the misuse of power and the manipulation of religion, turning selflessness to selfishness.
Generally, this track criticizes the loss of humanity's senses in life. It points out the importance of remembering those who have suffered, while also urging listeners to question oppressive systems. The river queen is a symbol of innocence, love, and selflessness, and her story serves as a reminder of the potential for both good and evil within human nature.
