Spellbound

[Verse 1 – soft strings, cold ambient textures, crystal-clear vocal lead]
The right words never came
So no one ever knew.
Witches whispered softly,
Spinning something new.

[Verse 2 – add warm cello layer, plucked strings, keep vocals crisp and close]
Spellbound, lost in shadows,
Frozen, still, and blind.
Traded truth for silence,
Left myself behind.

[Chorus – rising harmony, choral layers begin underneath lead vocal. Folk drum enters]
A fleeting lapse in judgment
The needle’s silent sting.
No cry, no plea for mercy
Just webs they chose to spin.

[Verse 3 – deeper string textures, vocal remains front and raw, no echo]
The meadows, lush and bright,
Concealed the cursed return
While roots of fear grew deep,
With lessons yet to learn.

[Bridge – orchestral folk climax: swelling strings, harmonies soar, no distortion]
But spells and shadows break
When light and faith stand tall
A force no lie can bend,
Nor tower can enthrall.

[Instrumental Break – folk storm swells with clear violin and chanting voices]
(no piano — bowed strings, ritual drums, whispers, forest wind)

[Final Chorus – clear, resolved, vocal soft but still articulate]
Now dawn cuts through the haze,
A glow so vast, so true
Faith, a steady beacon,
Guides me to what’s due.
