Malevolence (lyrics)
![[Deleted User]](https://thesongwritersforum.com/vanilla/applications/dashboard/design/images/defaulticon.png)
Greetings everyone! It's hard to believe we're approaching the end of the year, yet here we are. The lyrics to my next song, which are meant to support my horror novel "Omega's Dark", are posted below. I have the chords and melody worked out and a new demo is forthcoming. It's a fast, uptempo song with a dark vibe. After I record a demo, I'll commission my videographer to produce a new video for it soon.
The imgur link below shows potential images of Omega (left) and Hedra (right). Both are enchantresses with immense powers. Omega is thousands of years old, but Hedra is about 28. Their powers allow them not to age.
Cheers,
Joseph 😀
Malevolence Words and Music: Joseph Spain Produced by: Joseph Spain © 2023 Joseph Spain song from a forthcoming horror novel "Omega's Dark" --Verse 1 You look but you don't see You listen but don't hear Your fingers trace love's heart across thin air That you don't feel --Verse 2 You count the stars in the sky But you don't know their number The waves crash over your head But you don't know how far you're under Pre-chorus 1 And the night strikes a fear in your life and your heart You're so close to the end When her magic enters in --Chorus Under your bed at night Dark demons lurk there out of sight Spirits and shadows come alive Her malevolence claims your mind The hush grows loud and clear Your heart beats fast you shed a tear Don't let your legs hang over the side Or she'll drag you into her fire --Release She's under your bed with her fire Her malevolence claims your life --Verse 3 You fight but you can't win You are froze in fear Your body feels the burning touch of her skin Your end is near --Pre-chorus 2 And the night leaves you cold as her bite leaves a mark You're so close to the end When her magic closes in (repeat chorus) --Bridge She's one part Heaven two parts Hell Her blend of terror mixed so well Your journey's bound for pain you'll burn tonight All my love for her saved my life (repeat chorus through fade out)

I think it's well put together Joseph.
It definitely gives me a mystical, demonic vibe.
For me, it's much more atmosphere than story. I don't really get much of who these people are or their relationship from the lyric, but that may be deliberate on your part - the context is all there in the novel I'm sure.
I find it easy to imagine this set to your musical style.

Strong lyrics. I can imagine what kind of song might these words would suit, but I'll wait with interest to see where you take this one.
Great stuff😀

I am I getting an almost 80's style rock vibe as I read through you lyrics? (I think I'm showing my age🤣) It's interesting for sure. I'm not absolutely certain of this but you might run into a little timing issue in your verses on the lines where you have "You" twice!

@Billy_Lunch_Money Many thanks for reviewing my lyrics, Billy. Yes, it's definitely in the uptempo 80s pop-rock genre. I'm working on a demo over the holidays. I'm with you on the age thing. I turn 57 next spring, but I feel young and plan to keep writing songs and making music till I drop. 😎
@ChrisPrice Much appreciation for reviewing my lyrics and your kind words! 😀
Cheers,
Joseph
