All One Enchantress Knows (demo)

[icystorm]

Greetings! I'm writing a fictional horror novel about a beautiful enchantress, Omega, and her two lovely apprentices, Hedra and Autumn. I'm also writing the soundtrack for the book. I have six songs so far. The latest song for the book is entitled "All One Enchantress Knows". The song is about the beautiful enchantress, Omega, although her name is not mentioned in the song.

Comments and suggestions welcomed.

--Verse 1
She's made of myth and legend
And her senses are sharp
as the edge of the hunter's knife
She lies in wait in the minds
of her prey she stalks tonight

--Pre-chorus 1
There's no escape from her spell
She walks in beauty in the night
She hunts her enemies to make them know
What they don't wanna know
And they'll never hear her footsteps
fall inside their lives

--Chorus
Their secrets left unguarded
are known to her enchanting eyes
She'll hurt them in their dreams
when night time falls
and there's no place to hide
She'll reach them where they're sleepin'
She'll corner them when there's no light
Her power settles scores
Her wrath will show
All one enchantress knows

--Release
She'll take their breath and more
with her darkest curse on Earth

--Verse 2
She's made of dark and night
And her heart is as cold
as a tomb in a frozen sea
She reads their thoughts from the dark
in the minds of her enemies

--Pre-chorus 2
There's no reprieve from her hell
She walks in beauty in the night
She'll find them where they sleep
and then they'll know
what they're afraid to know
And they'll never hear her footsteps
come for them tonight

--Bridge
She incants her hex and spells
Ignites their lives with fire in their minds
Burns them alive
And she inflicts their worst nightmare
Death by fears the sorceress designs
They're out of time

I think the vocals sound great! The music has a kind of commercial Alan Parsons project stuff from the 80's vibe...being a kid from the 80's I like it! The end of the song seemed to snub the fade a bit?
Cool project, book with accompanying music, that's really interesting.

Vocal are wonderful! I would have loved a change when the chorus hits. Nice recording. Drums are a little bit boring. Wake them up!

Many thanks for listening, your kind words, and your constructive comments. I agree about the drums, and I may bolster those on the next demo. Regarding a change as the chorus engages, I added a clasp of thunder at that intersection in my new video. Is the thunder overkill?

Thanks for listening and your kind words! Yeah, there were lots of good Alan Parsons songs from the 80s. I added a bit more fade for my new video. Maybe a little more is needed? The video from the videographer I use doesn't really capture the dark essence of the enchantress I'm writing about, but it's inexpensive and just for fun.
