Three Pretty Devils

Gothic industrial metal, raw heavy analog production; smoky, husky female contralto shifts from intimate sensual phrasing to rough, powerful choruses, with two close female harmonies on refrains; 92 BPM hypnotic cabaret pulse; rolling distorted bass leads beneath low-tuned tube-amp guitars and slow tom-driven acoustic drums, crooked detuned upright piano, wheezing harmonium, and a damaged four-note reed-organ motif, ‑Dance-pop, ‑EDM club beats, ‑bright pop choruses, ‑modern metalcore breakdowns, ‑cartoon vampire voices, ‑polished arena rock, ‑pristine piano, ‑cinematic orchestration, ‑excessive guitar shredding

[Intro]

[Detuned upright piano plays a crooked four-note melody. Rolling bass enters beneath slow toms. Distorted guitars rise.]
[Verse]

[Female lead, husky and intimate]

You found the room behind the stairs

Where nobody should go

Three candles burn against the glass

Three shadows move below

The velvet hangs like drying blood

The piano misses keys

One woman smiles behind her veil

And beckons you to breathe
[Pre-Chorus]

[Female lead, teasing]

Come a little closer

Let me see your eyes

There’s no need for knocking

You’re already inside
[Chorus]

[Female lead, seductive melodic refrain. Two female backing harmonies.]

One little kiss

One little bite

Three pretty devils

And you for the night

One little taste

No need to fight

Three pretty devils

And you for the night
[Instrumental]

[Rolling bass riff continues. Distorted guitar answers the detuned piano melody. Heavy drums maintain the sensual pulse.]
[Verse]

[Low, smoky singing]

One wears a necklace made of pearls

One wears a silver chain

The third has nothing on her throat

Except a little stain

She puts her fingers to your lips

And laughs without a sound

You try to speak, but all the words

Fall somewhere to the ground
[Pre-Chorus]

[Lead vocal close, almost whispered]

Come a little closer

Feel the velvet move

You don’t have to love us

We have room for you
[Chorus]

[Female lead more forceful, backing voices intertwine]

One little kiss

One little bite

Three pretty devils

And you for the night

One little taste

No need to fight

Three pretty devils

And you for the night
[Instrumental]

[Heavy distorted bass and guitars. Antique piano plays quick, strangely elegant ornamentations. Drum groove remains steady.]
[Bridge]

[Piano and bass only. Female lead sings softly.]

The room begins to lean

The candles stretch and bend

One woman takes your shaking hand

And calls you her dear friend

Another brushes back your hair

The third is at your throat

And suddenly the sweetest voice

Comes from beneath the floor
[Instrumental]

[Dracula’s damaged four-note reed-organ motif sounds alone. The other instruments stop.]
[Final Chorus]

[All three female voices in close, sinister harmony. Crushing guitars return.]

One little kiss

One little bite

Three pretty devils

And you for the night

One little taste

Now hold on tight

Three pretty devils

And you for the night
[Outro]

[Female lead alone. Faint piano notes.]

The door was open

The room was red

You thought you saw us

From inside your head

[Ancient organ sounds four notes. Abrupt silence.]

[End]
