[Intro: The sound of a silk ribbon being slowly pulled across a microphone. A deep, wet, rhythmic bass throb begins, punctuated by the faint, distorted sound of a ticking grandfather clock.]
[Verse 1: The Three Bears]
[Vocals: Soft, breathy, close-mic, seductive delivery]
The porridge was cold, but the bed was so warm,
Three heavy shadows waiting out the storm.
I broke every lock, I found the fur-lined lair,
Goldilocks starving for the musk of the bear.
[Seductive whisper: It was all... just right.]
[Chorus: Instrumentation surges—lush, sweeping strings layered over a grinding, industrial metal chug]
Oh, the fables you know, in the dark they unwind,
Where the morals are stripped and the appetites bind.
It’s a twisted design, a carnal display,
Where the hunters and prey choose how to play.
[Verse 2: Little Red Riding Hood]
[Instruments: A minimalist, hypnotic bass line with sharp, rhythmic snare hits]
The basket is heavy, the path is so deep,
Red silk concealing the secrets I keep.
The wolf in the thicket, with eyes like the moon,
Waiting to howl at the heat of the noon.
[Vocals: A slow, languid, teasing drawl]
Grandma is gone, but the bed is still wide...
Don't be shy, hunter. Come look inside.
[Verse 3: Rapunzel]
[Instruments: Atmospheric, ethereal synth pads combined with a slow, crushing doom-metal bass]
High in the tower, the braid is the chain,
Pulling the lover through pleasure and pain.
Silk woven tight, a ladder of skin,
Binding the savior to the depth of the sin.
[Vocals: A breathy, near-monotone whisper that grows into a low, sultry hum]
Let down your hair, and anchor the soul...
The higher you climb, the deeper the hole.
[Bridge: The music drops to a rhythmic, percussive sequence—the sound of heavy fabric sliding on stone and skin, layered with the metallic clink of chains.]
(Whispered, intimate voices)
Not so innocent...
Not so pure...
The fable is the cage...
And I am the cure.
[Outro: The percussion fades, leaving only the slow, pulsing bass and the sound of a satisfied, lingering exhale.]
(Lead vocals, a final, intimate whisper)
Happily ever after.
[The sound of a heavy, velvet curtain being drawn shut.]
