[Verse 1, deep pipe organ, haunting violin, walking bass line ] She snaps her fingers, a sinner’s soul taken tonight, Bones tumble on the altar, whispering your fate, every roll she reads the future, cruel and cold, And what she sees is yours… forever bound, never told. [Prechorus, choir whispering backup vocals, haunting deep pipe organ] A whisper A spell A bone in her hand She’ll bind your fate She’ll command [Chorus, full orchestra, cello, deep pipe organ, gospel choir chanting] Marie Laveau Queen of the night Dancing with voodoo souls in the moonlight She knows your sins She knows your name Once you’re hers You’ll never be the same [Verse 2, deep pipe organ, haunting violin, walking bass line ] Gris-gris rattles on her altar, stitched and soaked in sin, Crossroads tremble when her rituals begin, The river darkens—stagnant spirits wake, Ancient guardians of tombs bow with every soul she takes. [Bridge, haunting pipe organ, haunting choir backup vocals, cello dragging ] drums boom from the graveyard gates, Second line phantoms twist threads of fate, Under moon-swelled tides, sigils bleed and glow— All New Orleans trembles beneath Marie Laveau. [Chorus, full orchestra explodes, cello, deep booming pipe organ, violin, gospel choir chanting] Marie Laveau Queen of the night Dancing with voodoo souls in the moonlight She knows your sins She knows your name Once you’re hers You’ll never be the same Queen Laveau [Chorus, full orchestra explodes, cello, deep booming pipe organ explosion, violin explodes, gospel choir chanting] Marie Laveau Queen of the night Dancing with voodoo souls in the moonlight She knows your sins She knows your name Once you’re hers You’ll never be the same Queen Laveau [Final Outro — whispered, haunting, ominous] You came to me seeking fortune and flame… now you tremble as I speak your name. Your shadow’s mine, your heartbeat slows— I seal your fate where the dark wind blows. Your soul is inked in my ledger of night, No dawn will break, no mercy, no light. You begged for power… now you’re in my throes— Forever bound to Marie Laveau. (choir whispering: “you are hers… you are hers…”)
