Lilith's Lullaby ft. Poison Lilly [Blackline Audio]

///*****/// [Song Direction: Female-led gothic alternative metal. Spooky lullaby intro that mutates into heavy, aggressive dark metal. Lillith Grace sounds eerie, intimate, seductive, and dangerous in the verses, then explodes into venomous belted choruses. No church focus. This is a dark identity song about becoming the nightmare they created.] [Intro - broken music box, low drone, distant childlike hum, faint reversed whispers] [Spoken Intro - spoken word, close female whisper, eerie and calm] “Hush now little one, you don't have to cry... Lilith sings when innocent girls die” [Verse 1 - low haunting female vocal, music box and clean guitar, unsettling atmosphere] I learned to smile with a mouth full of needles I learned to sleep with one eye wide You left me alone with the thing in the mirror Now she wears my face at night You wanted meek, you forced me silent A little doll that would not scream But something woke beneath the floorboards And started breathing underneath [Pre-Chorus - drums begin, tension rising, vocal turning sharper] Don’t close your eyes Don’t count to ten The girl you buried Is awake again [Chorus - heavy gothic alternative metal, huge distorted guitars, female vocal belting] This is Lilith’s lullaby Sweet as venom, sharp as knives Hush now, darling, don’t you cry Good girls break, but bad girls rise This is Lilith’s lullaby I hear the buried voices cry You will choke on all your lies As I wake the ones you left to die [Post-Chorus - heavy guitars, dark choir layers, whispered doubles] La-la-la, lie still La-la-la, bleed slow La-la-la, I know What you did in the dark [Verse 2 - heavier rhythm, low venomous female vocal] I hid bruises behind pretty dresses I held my rage behind my teeth Every scar became a warning Every kiss became a disease You called me cursed, you called me crazy Said I was born with something wrong But you carved the monster from the marble Then acted shocked when she got strong [Pre-Chorus 2 - bigger build, floor tom pulse, vocal cracks with anger] Don’t say my name Don’t make that sound The thing you feared Will burn it all down [Chorus - heavier full band, layered female harmonies, bigger drums] This is Lilith’s lullaby Sweet as venom, sharp as knives Hush now, darling, don’t you cry Good girls break, but bad girls rise This is Lilith’s lullaby I hear the buried voices cry Soon you'll choke on all your lies As I wake the ones left to die [Bridge - half-time breakdown, distorted bass, industrial metal pulse, whispered vocal] Rock-a-bye baby I'm here in your room You lie now in your bed That soon will be your tomb Rock-a-bye baby You thought this a game Called me the child of evil Now the evil wears my name [Breakdown - aggressive female vocal, chugging guitars, dark choir stabs] I am now your nightmare I am what you made I am not your failure I am just simply what escaped You thought you left me sleeping You left me here to rot Now every wicked lullaby Ferries lost souls from the dark [Final Chorus - massive metal chorus, dark choir layers, full-power female vocal] This is Lilith’s lullaby Sweet as venom, sharp as knives Hush now, darling, don’t you cry Good girls break, but bad girls rise This is Lilith’s lullaby For every girl you left to die Their faces will chill your soul I'll sing those dead back into life [Tag - chaotic guitars, choir fading, whispered doubles] La-la-la, lie still La-la-la, rot slow La-la-la, No one knows You belong to the dark [Outro - spoken word, broken music box returns, low feedback, breathy female whisper] "Hush now, darling Close your eyes Lilith sings When monsters die"
