The Persona of Evil -- lyrics

[icystorm]

Greetings, all! I hope you're having a great summer (or autumn, if you're in the Southern Hemisphere!). This is the latest song I've composed, titled The Persona of Evil. It is intended to support my forthcoming fictional thriller/horror novel, Omega's Dark: The Transference.

The song is about the Greek goddess Eris sending the lovely enchantress Hedra to end the wicked crimes of a diabolical figure on Earth who is causing misery and suffering to innocent people.

I have a rough early demo of the song, but once I complete a final demo and video, I'll post both in the Finished Songs section of the forum.

The brief clip below is a rough partial sample of the chorus. As a change, I'm starting the song with the chorus before verse 1. The backing vocals are my own, and a combo with an Audimee filter using Nicole Patterson's voice. There's still a lot to do recording-wise, but the song itself is fully written—I need only find the time to properly record it.

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

--Chorus
She's slow and sure
As the seconds pass
And the shadows fall
On the daughter of Satan's life
The sands that slip
Through the hourglass
Frame the curse that ends
The daughter of Satan's crimes
A mystery's behind

--Verse 1
Eve was born under an unholy star
A sign of demons and night
And she walked the Earth
With a hateful gait
Leaving misery in her wake

--Verse 2
The goddess Eris saw the pain Eve caused
From her lofty throne she spoke
She sent Hedra forth to right the wrongs
And destroy the evil one

[repeat chorus; then to verse 3]

-Verse 3
Eve is gone now she will sin no more
After Hedra claimed her life
Eris smiled from high upon her star
And the world knew calm tonight

--Verse 4
Hedra basks in love
Inscribed in lore
She's the one adored on Earth
Yet she searches for more wicked ones
To end the sins they've sown

[repeat chorus through fadeout]
