Storyline

Armed with this knowledge, Imelda and Thomas look deeper, unable to understand why Lilith Blackwood has been cursed, for she seems an innocent child. Imelda remembers something about a tragic line of Blackwoods, and together they uncover a family history full of woe and death. As they read, they realise this curse isn't just aimed at Lilith - it's on the Blackwood name. A malevolent inheritance seems to have striken down many of the Blackwood line before their time. All of them woman. To lift the curse, they must understand its origins - what have the Blackwoods done to warrant this?

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Grim-faced Sister, glowering, gleans

Ghastly gospels, gruesome scenes.

Thomas tells of Lilith's lot:

Gorgon's gaze, a gutting rot.


[Chorus 1]

Heirloom horrors, hellishly hewn,

Bind our bloodline, blight-strewn.


[Verse 2]

Rattles rend the rancid air,

Serpents' sibilant hiss snares.

Mirrors' mangled mayhem moans,

Perseus's perilous groans.


[Chorus 2]

Heirloom horrors, hellishly hewn,

Bind our bloodline, blight-strewn.


[Verse 3]

Lilith's land, a lurching lurch,

Kin flee fast or face the dirge.

Lingering lose limb and life,

Tombstones tell of tortuous strife.


[Chorus 3]

Heirloom horrors, hellishly hewn,

Bind our bloodline, blight-strewn.


[Verse 4]

"Burdens bore?" Thomas bewails,

Beads buzz bleak, bedevilled tales.

Darkened depths disguise the past,

Parents' plight by evil cast.


[Chorus 4]

Heirloom horrors, hellishly hewn,

Bind our bloodline, blight-strewn.


[Verse 5]

Ancient annals augur dread,

Tracing terrors, tributes spread.

Lives lost, languishing in pain,

Cursed, condemned to crushing bane.


[Chorus 5]

Heirloom horrors, hellishly hewn,

Bind our bloodline, blight-strewn.


[Verse 6]

Poisoned path persists through time,

Blackwood's blight, a baleful rhyme.

Centuries see shadows swell,

Imelda's incantations dwell:


[Bridge]

"Hemlock's horrors haunt this heath,

Creeks keen torment's timeless wreath.

Darkness devours our domain's core,

Hope's heart halts forevermore."

 

[Chorus 6]

Heirloom horrors, hellishly hewn,

Bind our bloodline, blight-strewn.


[Outro]

Thomas, taut with teeming might,

Breaks bonds binding in the night.

Secrets slither, serpents seethe,

Curses coil, malice they breathe.
