I wrote this about a year ago, and I'm looking for a collaborator for this one Happy


 


 


Chorus
I don’t want your silver
I don’t want your gold
I take what I need the light from your soul
To fuel my beauty and never grow old
Turn it black and coooooooooooold,
Turn it black and cold


 


Verse 1
A cold wind blows this winters night
It sings through trees disturbs the quiet
Sounds of footsteps that crunch the snow
Who seeks me out tonight is it friend or foe
So I rise from the fire that wraps me warm
A sudden forceful gust slams open my door



Verse 2
Greetings stranger shut the door
Tell me what it is, you hunger for
You’ve traveled far, no respite no rest
Tried them all, at last you found the best
Come sit beside me close to the fire
I see a desperate look… in your eye


 


Chorus
I don’t want your silver
I don’t want your gold
I take what I need the light from your soul
To fuel my beauty and never grow old
Turn it black and coooooooooooold,
Turn it black and cold


Verse3
 A Powerful Sorceress is my claim to fame
Potent Black Magic is the tool of my trade
Yes I can grant your deepest wish today
But there’s going to be a price to pay


A pact is a pact there’s no turning back


Payment for your thrill…. is diabolical


 


Verse 4
So tell me now of your deepest desire
Just what it is, that you wish to acquire
Is it Love and Happiness… Sex and Power
Is Fame and Fortune… your heart’s desire?
I only need a drop of Blood from you
This Contract will make all your dreams come true


 


Chorus out

Hey Gwyneth,


This is a great and different look at the age old theme presented in  Faust  hat runs in myth and legend through almost all cultures. Cool write! In the States here known of course as the "crossroads" legend of Robert Johnson fame.  Good luck with it!

I was thinking maybe Blues Rock? It definately needs a heavier in your face type of instrumental!!

I knew this would be a good one when I saw the title.  So poetic! It made me think of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
