Blood of the Elves Lyrics
Honor, it's easy to dispose
In this darkest hour we're alone
From behind closed doors it aims for her
Magic's reaching out to draw her in
To the eye of the storm
The storm
Get her out of the way, she is your destiny
Now better hide when chaos breaks loose
Chaos's breaking loose
Just take her away, stay silent
Just take her away, no matter
The poet lied (The poet lied)
The poet lied to save her life
Queen, follow the sign
Share our sorrows, clear your mind
Despite the writing on the wall
Hope grows from now on
For our brotherhood stands strong
Queen, follow the sign
Blood of the elves, predestined child
There's danger when everything's at stake here
It follows wherever you may roam
Well, then at last there's a choice, a path
Dedicate yourself to the innocent
All praise to her in glory
Gracious lioness Elven seed
Horror, come to meet me
I'm here to erase thee
Black or white, just pay me
In between there hardly is a line
Black
White
Black
White
White Wolf
The source inside her
It's not a shallow river
It can't grow wild
It's hard to bind
It can't grow wild
We need advice
Queen, follow the sign
Share our sorrows, clear your mind
Despite the writing on the wall
Hope grows from now on
For our brotherhood stands strong
Queen, follow the sign
Blood of the elves, predestined child
I tell you, consider you are wrong here
I tell you, there's more than meets the eye
Your secret rites
Fools, you better think twice
Tribulation's caused by your ignorance
The world it bleeds
Ignore its cries
But soon there is a path to choose
Queen, follow the sign
Share our sorrows, clear your mind
Despite the writing on the wall
Hope grows from now on
For our brotherhood stands strong
Queen, follow the sign
Blood of the elves, predestined child
The hill will claim you, keep on running
Your name's engraved, you know it's true
Yes, death has cold blue eyes
Die, die, time to die!
In this darkest hour we're alone
From behind closed doors it aims for her
Magic's reaching out to draw her in
To the eye of the storm
The storm
Now better hide when chaos breaks loose
Chaos's breaking loose
Just take her away, no matter
The poet lied (The poet lied)
The poet lied to save her life
Share our sorrows, clear your mind
Despite the writing on the wall
Hope grows from now on
For our brotherhood stands strong
Queen, follow the sign
Blood of the elves, predestined child
It follows wherever you may roam
Well, then at last there's a choice, a path
Dedicate yourself to the innocent
All praise to her in glory
Gracious lioness Elven seed
I'm here to erase thee
Black or white, just pay me
In between there hardly is a line
White

This is 100% about the character Ciri from the Witcher franchise. I don't recall the detail but "blood of the elves" refers to her being the distant descendant of a famous elven sorceress and plays a part in some elven Prophecy.
"Lioness" was the nickname of her grandmother Calanthe, the Queen of Cintra, which is why Ciri is often called the Lion Cub of Cintra.
And the "White Wolf" is one of the nicknames of the Witcher himself, Gewalt of Rivia, Ciri's foster father.
I'm sure there are more hints but it's been too long since I read the books.
@Krarian stupid autocorrect turned Geralt into Gewalt and I have no idea how to edit my own post
