In the dead of night she'll come and take you away Searing beams of light and thunder Over blackened plains she will find her way Flying high through the night she will hide your fate As she takes your soul from under And the blinding light of the castle fades There is no escape, It's the ending of your precious life Your soul slipped away... It belongs to the Queen of the Reich The Queen of the Reich, Yeah she's coming for you You're fading away, Your life cast astray A victim the beast shall obtain The light will not shine For you'll die tonight at her shrine And black is the last thing you'll see Over and over Dreams of dying fill your head It's the sign of the cross That you'll find ahead No one will answer The light is fading away Captive souls are screaming out in pain There is no escape It's the ending of your precious life Your soul slipped away... It belongs to the Queen of the Reich You're fading away, No, No, No The Queen of the Reich You're slipping away, yeah The Queen of the Reich

A canção foi gravada em 1981 como parte de um demo tape da banda ainda chamada “The Mob”, antes de adotar o nome Queensrÿche.
“Queen of the Reich” foi lançada junto com “The Lady Wore Black”, “Nightrider” e “Blinded” no EP da banda, marcando o início da carreira profissional da banda.
O título da música inspirou a mudança de nome da banda, que passou a usar “Queensrÿche” em vez de “Queensreich” para evitar associações com a Alemanha nazista.
O EP que continha “Queen of the Reich” ajudou a firmar o estilo heavy‑metal da banda, estabelecendo a identidade sonora que viria a caracterizar os futuros lançamentos.
