No Power Over Me (based on "Labyrinth") - Spotify Version

Folk-metal hybrid, strong female vocals, whispered spoken interludes, raw emotional delivery, 80s fantasy grit

[Intro – spoken, whispered, distant echo]
Through dangers… untold…
And hardships unnumbered…

[Verse 1 – hushed, confiding, sparse acoustic]
I must obey my Step-Mom's bidding
Though I'll be sixteen next year
Babysit my brother, is she kidding?!
I wish he'd disappear

[Verse 2]
Right then in a flash before me
Stands the Goblin King, so regal
Brother’s in danger, why am I thinking
“Whoa, those pants ought to be illegal”

[Chorus – raw build to crack, full band crash]
He has a power over me
I can’t explain or reason why
Face the Labyrinth for Toby
13 hours, I’ve got to try! 
Face the goblins and the shadows
Fear I won’t win this fight
He has a power over me
I’ve got to set things right!

[Interlude – spoken, whispered, distant echo]
I have fought my way here to the castle…
Beyond the goblin city…

[Verse 3]
Through the trials and friends I make
His face, it lingers near
I know what my heart aches to take
Tell me what I want to hear

[Verse 4]
Bewitched, bewildered, confused, dazed
I hear his golden voice
The starring role I’ve always craved
I’ve got to make a choice

[Interlude – spoken, whispered, distant echo]
To take back the child that was stolen…

[Pre-Chorus]
My strength is weak, it needs indulging
Look in his soul, not at what’s bulging

[Chorus – raw build to crack, full band crash]
Resist his power over me
I know what I must do
The Labyrinth has Toby 
And soon it’ll have me too
Face facts, Sarah, time to grow up
You can’t put off this fight
Resist his power over me
I’ve got to set things right!

[Interlude – spoken, defiant]
My will is as strong as yours!

[Verse 5]
He called my name upon his throne
But his crown, I had outgrown it
Big sister’s the title I proudly own
I guess I’ve always known it

[Verse 6]
Ludo, Hoggle, Diddymus
Forever my best friends
What the hell, one last dance
Before my childhood ends

[Interlude – spoken, defiant]
You have no power over me!

[Chorus – raw build to crack, full band crash]
You have no power over me
You gave me back my will
The Labyrinth it taught me that
But now I’ve drank my fill
Growing up's the hardest thing to do
Easy choices an illusion
My thanks to you, my Goblin King (woo woo!)
And your mighty big protrusion
(Seriously, what was going on there...)
