Blood Ghost | An Original Song

I wrote "Blood Ghost" a while ago for a songwriting class. The prompt we used was to rearrange words from a preexisting song to use in an original song. When I returned back to the song to record it, I decided that some of the lyrics I had fit the song and others did not. 

In the final version of the song, I added some new and original lyrics. So, here is the lyric video: 


And if you just want to listen to the audio, here's the song on Bandlab: 

                  
 
🎶 Lyrics 🎶 

Under Southwest Bridge, 
Waiting for the Blood Ghost. 
It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 

Hatred of light, hatred of blood, hatred of the Blood Ghost. 
 
It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 
It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 

Many tales of old were told, 
Of the entity
Who will now forever be
In our memory 

It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 
It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 

Searching for shelter, struggling in prayer, fighting against the Blood Ghost. 

It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 
It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 

It is said that your children it will take, 
in its wake, 
where they go, 
we never know, 

It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 
It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 

In life it was said to be a fair maid, 
But she faded and turned into a shade, 
Now she haunts looking around for blood, 
And many have succumbed, 
to its will, 
Because an empty shell it wants to fill,  

It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 
It is coming tonight with hatred in its eyes. 

Last three waiting, last three waiting, last three waiting, waiting, for the Blood Ghost.

  3. Ooh spooky lyrics!

    Oh and I saw your comment on my blog- Scotland is a graphic novel/ French comic. It's sort of an ongoing series (earlier installments were Kenya and Namibia) and I think amazon has a (unfortunately bried) sample...

    2. You're welcome! I'm really looking forward to Scotland but unfortunately it will probably be later this year before Cinebook translates it into English. Sighh. But I highly recommend the Aldebaran books as well if you're interested/
