Voodoo ft. Poison Lilly [Blackline Audio]

///*****/// [Song Direction: Female-fronted Poison Lily metal track with New Orleans voodoo-jazz atmosphere. Heavy gothic alt-metal foundation, swampy groove, dirty brass stabs, second-line snare accents, sludgy guitars, ritual floor toms, seductive menace, revenge-arc energy. Lily exposes a fake seductress using manipulation, then reveals she is the one who knows the real thing.] [Stereo Widening] [Analog Grit] [Dark Cabaret Atmosphere] [New Orleans Brass Accents] [Heavy Sludge Guitar] [Swamp Groove Drums] [Start] [Intro - Low Brass, Floor Toms, Guitar Feedback] Folks call it voodoo I call it cheap perfume They think you have powers They're just parlor tricks you use [Verse 1 - Low, Controlled, Swamp Metal Groove] She played your weak spots like a fiddle With a red dress and a pretty smile She never had to cast a spell She worked her womanly wiles No bones, no salt No pin-filled dolls were ever used Just an evil succubus Who dug her claws into you [Pre-Chorus - Tension Build, Vocal Tightens] You said you couldn't help it Like your hands were tied You cried you were used But we both know that's just a lie [Chorus - Heavy, Wide Vocal, Brass Stabs] It wasn't voodoo It wasn't even magic Just a silly girl Playing wicked little games She didn't steal your soul You simply gave her control She don't know voodoo But I do, now you both are gonna pay [Post-Chorus - Stomp Chant] Voodoo You don't know what that means Voodoo You don't know what answers me [Verse 2 - Sharper Vocal, More Guitar Weight] I keep gris-gris in the drawer Got salt lining the door And I know the names to seek When I'm evening the score I don't play with dead things Like toys on a string I pay respect where it's owed Now you'll see the evil I can bring You were consumed by her hunger She fed on all your lies Now both of you are exposed You've run out of alibis [Pre-Chorus 2 - Darker Build] She wore my crown for a minute Until it dug into her skin Now the walls are getting colder Cause the spirits are closing in [Chorus 2 - Heavier, Wider Vocal, Brass Hits] It wasn't voodoo It wasn't even magic Just a silly girl Playing wicked little games She didn't steal your soul You simply gave her control She don't know voodoo But I do, now you both are gonna pay [Post-Chorus - Stomp Chant] Voodoo You don't know what that means Voodoo You don't know what answers me [Bridge - Half-Time Ritual Breakdown] I'll light the black candle Write their names in scarlet One for the cheater And one for the harlot Too late for screaming Dry your tears The spirits are angry You're about to know real fear You played with my voodoo Like it was a game No everyone will know your sins You only have yourselves to blame [Breakdown - Dominant Vocal, Heavy Hits] You messed with the wrong woman You opened the wrong door You tore out my heart You ripped me to my core You played with fake voodoo To steal what was mine But I'm the real deal And now you're out of time [Final Chorus - Full Band, Brass Screams, Revenge Arc] I cast voodoo on you As you writhe on the floor You took joy in my pain Now you scream out, "No more!" I cast voodoo on you No one can hear your prayer You can join my faithless lover I already left him there [Outro - Brass Falls Away, Floor Tom Pulse] Voodoo Now you know what that means Voodoo You should've never played with me [End]
