Queen of the Howling Deep

[Intro]
[stomps and claps
Crowd chant]
Ho!
Ho!
Ho!
Ho!
[Verse 1]
Lantern swinging in the black sea rain
Hear the wolves out on the waves again
Demon eyes in the rigging rope
Smell of rust
Old blood
And smoke
Crew sings soft like a broken prayer
Lion’s roar in the captain’s chair
Scales of a dragon scrape the hull
Every heartbeat heavy
Full
[Pre-Chorus]
I taste the storm on my tongue
(are you afraid of me?)
Teeth in the dark when I’m sung
(you’re never going free)
[Chorus]
I’m the queen of the howling deep
Where the monsters rise and the angels sleep
Raise your cup
Give your soul to me
Hey—ho
On this cursed Halloween
Sing woah-oh
Let the shadows feed
Wolves and demons do the work I speak
Claw-marked moon and a blood-red sea
Hey—ho
You belong to me
[Verse 2]
Dragon fire in the crooked mast
Ghostly flags in the freezing blast
Lion grin with a silver crown
Dice made out of sailor bones cast down
Spider ink on my wedding veil
Every vow just another nail
In this coffin of a midnight ship
Come and taste that poison drip
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear your heart in the drum
(try not to lose control)
Drinking the dark as it comes
(sign away your soul)
[Chorus]
I’m the queen of the howling deep
Where the monsters rise and the angels sleep
Raise your cup
Give your soul to me
Hey—ho
On this cursed Halloween
Sing woah-oh
Let the shadows feed
Wolves and demons do the work I speak
Claw-marked moon and a blood-red sea
Hey—ho
You belong to me
[Bridge]
[band drops
Only drums and voices]
Heave ho
All my broken toys
Sing low for the lost girls
Lost boys
Heave ho
Feel the fangs in your fear
One more scream for the night to hear (hey!)
[guitars slam back in]
Dragon wings in the thunder roll
Lion laugh in your cracking soul
Every nightmare that you ever keep
Marches with me
Out of the deep (out of the deep)
[Chorus]
I’m the queen of the howling deep
Where the monsters rise and the angels sleep
Raise your cup
Give your soul to me
Hey—ho
On this cursed Halloween
Sing woah-oh
Let the shadows feed
Wolves and demons do the work I speak
Claw-marked moon and a blood-red sea
Hey—ho
You belong to me
[Outro]
[crowd repeating]
Hey—ho
You belong to me
Hey—ho
On this cursed Halloween

Verses start sparse with vocal and drum slaps, pre-chorus stacks harmonies with eerie choral echoes, chorus explodes with distorted power chords, big crowd sing-along hooks, and occasional scream layers. Atmosphere stays spooky and theatrical, with subtle organ swells and bells between sections to heighten the Halloween vibe., hard rock, pop, metal, gothic metal, shanty, halloween, k-pop
