She Walks in Beauty in the Night -- lyrics

[Deleted User]

This is the 11th song I've composed for my fictional horror novel, "Omega's Dark: The Transference". The book is about a beautiful enchantress, Omega Sinclair, and her beautiful and adorable younger apprentice, Hedra Williamsson. Both are empowered by the ancient Greek Goddess of Strife and Discord, Eris. I'm planning numerous books in the series. This book is about the curse of transference against a wicked young woman who stole another woman's husband. Omega and Hedra, using the omnipotent powers of Eris, slowly transfer the life-force energy from the wicked woman to the woman who was wronged. The end result is that the wicked woman withers, ages, and dies at a rate of about 1% each day, as the other woman revitalizes and grows more beautiful and successful at the same rate as she receives the cursed woman's life-force energy. There is also serious retribution against her adulterous husband.

I have the melody and chords composed for the song and I'm creating and producing the backing track now. It's an uptempo pop-rock song at 140 bpm. Once the music is finished and I add my vocals to the demo, I'll order a new video for the song. The song is from the perspective of one of the guys who is in love with Hedra in the plot. The lyrics fit the meter of my melody and chords nicely. Demo and video soon! 😀😎

song from my forthcoming fictional horror novel "Omega's Dark: The Transference"

--Verse 1
I know it's no secret
To anyone who knows me that I love this girl
She's a sorceress
With darkness in her soul

--Verse 2
She gets to my heart with kisses
Her way with words
The scent of her skin and her sweet charms
She's the lightnin' in the storm

--Pre-chorus 1
Her dark hair spills one hand past shoulders length
and shines in full moonlight
When the sun has set
And twilight turns to night she comes alive

--Chorus
No power or god will matter
No force on earth
Once Hedra's mind is made
The wicked lives will shatter
And when her will is done
There's hell to pay
It's much too late for sorry
Her blood moon's in the sky
And she walks in beauty in the night
 
--Verse 3
I'm mortal man of flesh
Not sand or stone
My heart and bones are hers to take
She's the one inside my soul, the one I crave

--Verse 4
She holds my heart in her hands
In the wink of an eye
All life is hers to own or break
She's the one of fire and flame

--Pre-chorus 2
Her raven locks fall down past shoulders length
And shimmer in the night
When the moon has come
Her curse in tongues ignites nocturnal fire

(repeat chorus, then to bridge)

--Bridge
Her beauty passes all creation
It's wonderous at night
She's Heaven and she lasts forever
Through eternity with her dark eyes

(repeat chorus 1x then outro)

--Outro
She is the breath of love
The one who walks
In beauty in the night

She is the Heaven
And the one who walks
In beauty in the night

She is the bliss of love
And the one who walks
In beauty in the night

She is the savior
And the one who walks
In beauty in the night

"She Walks in Beauty in the Night" is such a fabulous line, so poetic!

It all reads very smoothly Joseph. Looking forward to hearing it. 😁

You're on quite an Odyssey Joseph. To your credit, you have maintained such a high standard at every stage of the journey.

The finished novel will no doubt reflect the impressive work that has gone into it to date.

Thank you for sharing
