Lady Nightshade

[Verse 1]
Velvet dress
Broken heel in the rain
Smudged red smile
Shaking hands
Crying your name
She says
"Please don't leave
I can't walk this road alone"
You feel like some cheap hero
Escorting poison home
[Chorus]
Lady Nightshade
She haunts the night
Looking for lost souls to feed her bite
She'll kiss you soft
Then drain you dry
Run while you can or you're gonna die
Lady Nightshade
She loves your fear
Once you step closer
You disappear
[Verse 2]
Perfume thick
You can taste it in the air
Cold glass eyes
Hiding claws under that hair
She wraps you in her story
'Bout a heart nobody saved
But every name she ever whispered
Is another unmarked grave
[Chorus]
Lady Nightshade
She haunts the night
Looking for lost souls to feed her bite
She'll kiss you soft
Then drain you dry
Run while you can or you're gonna die
Lady Nightshade
She loves your fear
Once you step closer
You disappear
[Bridge]
She cries
You fall
You never see the fangs at all
She begs
You stay
You're just one more thrown away
(hey!)
So when you hear her broken call
Turn your back
Don't look at all
[Chorus]
Lady Nightshade
She haunts the night
Looking for lost souls to feed her bite
She'll kiss you soft
Then drain you dry
Run while you can or you're gonna die
Lady Nightshade
She loves your fear
Once you step closer
You disappear

rock, 80s metal hybrid: galloping thrash riff, double-time drums, and grinding bass under snarled male vocals. Verses stay tight and tense, palm-muted guitars and single-note leads; chorus opens with soaring gang shouts, big open chords, and harmonized twin-guitar lines. Middle bridge drops to half-time chugs and ominous toms, then rips into a screaming guitar break before last chorus., metal, hard rock, speed metal, thrash metal
