ANTHONY CARLSEN - THE MOTHER OF NONE
[Intro] [A clean, lonely electric guitar melody begins, full of reverb and delay] (Deep rhythmic bass pulse enters slowly) [Male voice whispered] She’s coming for you... [Verse 1 - Solo Male Baritone] [Guitar continues its haunting, repetitive theme] She’s beautiful enough to make the heavens bleed A golden predator, sowing a hollow seed Ten rings on her fingers, diamonds on her throat But her soul is a shipwreck that will never float She drinks your energy like vintage red wine Leaves you broken in the gutter, crossing every line No love in her eyes, just a hunger for the prize A queen of the void in a perfect disguise. [Pre-Chorus - Tension rising] [Guitar starts to get slightly grittier] She wants the world in a box, tied with a ribbon of gold Your heart is just a currency to be bought and sold She’ll never give back, she only knows how to take Watch your life vanish in the ripples of her wake... [Chorus - Heavy Bass Drop / Melodic explosion] SHE’S A VAMPIRE IN A COUTURE DRESS! FEEDING ON THE CHAOS, LEAVING YOU A MESS! NO TEARS IN HER EYES UNLESS SHE’S ON THE STAGE! A BEAUTIFUL MONSTER, TURNING EVERY PAGE! SHE LOVES THE FALL, SHE LAUGHS AT THE PAIN! GOD HELP THE FOOL WHO STANDS IN HER RAIN! [Verse 2 - Gritty & Rhythmic] She envies your shadow, she envies your light She stalks your possessions in the dead of the night No cradle in her house, no child in her arms She won’t share her love, it would break her charms She doesn't even like the face in the glass She hates herself more as the minutes pass But she’ll smile when you stumble, she’ll grin when you die A venomous grace under a velvet sky. [Verse 3 - THE EXPLOSION] [The haunting guitar suddenly snaps into heavy, wall-of-sound distortion] [Tempo builds, operatic male power] I’VE NEVER SEEN HER WEEP! I’VE NEVER SEEN HER PRAY! SHE TURNS THE BRIGHTEST SUN INTO A GHOSTLY GREY! WATCH HER HANDS! THEY’RE HEAVY WITH THE SPOILS! WHILE YOUR DYING SPIRIT SIMMERS AND IT BOILS! SHE’S THE DEITY OF NOTHING! THE HARVESTER OF WASTE! LEAVING NOTHING BUT THE ASHES AND A BITTER TASTE! RUN! RUN! BEFORE THE TRAP IS SET! SHE’S THE ONLY DEBT THAT YOU’LL NEVER FORGET! [Bridge - Dark & Intimate] [Guitars cut out suddenly, leaving just a cold melodic synth] [Male voice, softly] She’s so beautiful... isn't she? But the heart is empty. The vessel... is cold. [Chorus - Final Aggressive Drop - Full Power] [All instruments, heavy guitar and bass together] SHE’S A VAMPIRE IN A COUTURE DRESS! FEEDING ON THE CHAOS, LEAVING YOU A MESS! NO TEARS IN HER EYES UNLESS SHE’S ON THE STAGE! SHE LOVES THE FALL! SHE LOVES THE RAGE! [Outro] [Fading distorted guitar feedback] [Male voice] Be careful... she's watching you. [Sound of a jewelry box snapping shut]
