For the past few weeks, Samanta has been appearing in an LTV-exclusive web documentary about her upcoming Eurovision entry, called “Kā uzvarēt Eirovīzijā? Samantas Tīnas ceļš uz Roterdamu”. The web docu follows the creative process behind her song, “The moon is rising“, by following Samanta and her crew backstage.

The last episode of the five-part documentary is set to air this Friday, which will be followed by the song being played in full for the first time. Samanta’s youtube channel now provided us with a link for those just interested in checking out her song.

The video description also provides the lyrics for the upcoming entry, which you can read below:

The queen of the night is coming
The blood moon is rising

When I walk in like this
With and attitude
You should know that
I’m coming after you
You can run, you can hide
But you’re mesmerized
In your mind I am
Already idolized

Playing dirty –
Not my case!
Giving up hopes –
Not my case!
Being envious –
Not my case!
If you got something to say,
Say it to my face!

The queen of the night is coming
The blood moon is rising

(Get ready for a)

Pa ra ra
Pa ra ra
Pa ra ra pa
Pa ra ra pa pa-rade

I will glow, I will burn
Illuminate
Bring the passion inside,
Let me touch your fate
I will lead, I will guide you
On your way
I am here to remind
You’re in the right place

My rules, your rules
I’m a woman, I’m a ruler
My rules, your rules
I’m accepting only true love
My rules, your rules
I’m a woman, I’m a ruler
You got something to say,
Say it to my face

My rules, your rules
Getting ready for the parade
My rules, your rules
No excuses, if it’s too late
My rules, your rules
Everybody follow my way
You got something to say,
Say it to my face!

The queen of the night is coming
The blood moon is rising

(Get ready for a)

Pa ra ra
Pa ra ra
Pa ra ra pa
Pa ra ra pa pa-rade

 

Last year, Samanta Tina was set to represent the Baltic state with the feminist anthem “Still breathing”. The song, notable for its honky instrumental breaks and memorable krumping choreography, was Samanta’s eighth attempt to get into the Eurovision Song Contest and won on the backs of the internet vote. (The Latvian televote prefered Katrina Dimanta, former member of 2014 representatives Aarzemnieki).
