Mary Had (Inspired by @CottonEyedJoe's Mary Had a little lamb)

[Intro - low, haunting violin drone and distant church bell toll] Mary had a little lamb… [Verse 1 - slow, dark acoustic guitar with eerie fiddle undertones] Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was black as night She led it to the altar stone beneath the pale moonlight Its eyes were wide and trusting, it followed without fear Mary smiled so sweetly as she wiped away a tear [Pre-Chorus - building tension with low strings and soft choral hum] The blade was cold and silver, the candle burned so low The lamb stood very still, it had nowhere to go [Chorus - soaring dark melodic hook with powerful belts and electric fiddle shred] Mary had a little lamb, she gave it to the flame Mary had a little lamb, she whispered its name Blood upon the altar, smoke into the sky Mary had a little lamb… and now it’s time to die [Verse 2 - faster tempo with distorted guitar and frantic fiddle runs] Mary had a little lamb, it followed her to school But school was just a story for the gullible and the fool The teachers never saw the knife she kept inside her bag The lamb never knew the price of her crimson flag [Pre-Chorus - heavier build with pounding drums and rising choral chant] The circle drawn in chalk, the candles burning black The lamb stood in the center, no way to turn back [Chorus - soaring dark melodic hook with powerful belts and electric fiddle shred] Mary had a little lamb, she gave it to the flame Mary had a little lamb, she whispered its name Blood upon the altar, smoke into the sky Mary had a little lamb… and now it’s time to die [Bridge - stripped to solo haunting violin solo, then explosive full band + shredding fiddle] It had no chance to run, no chance to scream or cry Mary had a little lamb… and that little lamb must die [Final Chorus - biggest dark soaring hook with layered harmonies and wild electric fiddle solo] Mary had a little lamb, she gave it to the flame (to the flame!) Mary had a little lamb, she carved its name (its name!) Blood upon the altar, smoke into the sky Mary had a little lamb… and now it’s time to die [Outro - fading solo violin over low church bells and whispers] Mary had… a little lamb… Its fleece was black as night…
