I wrote this track for a songwriting challenge back in 2012. It was artwork-oriented, so I had to do it based on a random picture that was given to me (in this case, "Nymphs and Satyr" by William-Adolphe Bouguereau.)
The song is pretty much classic USPM with a couple of folky sections to set a mystic, medieval mood. I didn't mix it at all back then but I did what I could to improve the mix and salvage it. Therefore, if the sound is bad/muddy/you can't hear anything, then yeah, my bad.
lyrics
The moonlight shines, lightning up the dark road
Crystallized phantoms roam in the trees
Like dancing shadows they come
Chantings in the wind
Young maiden of Artemis
She will take your heart to the oracle
The huntress awaits now for your soul
Mystical dryads in the woods
Nymphs of forests lost
Their voices come closer now
Naiad that protects the lake
Her ardent spells domain
Eyes that shine in the day await
Across the lake of the Limnades
A dream of fate warned me
Through the dark of the night
Oh, see that ahead
Is it the light, so bright
Shrine maidens follow heed time after time
A centennial festival arranged for magical girls
A Maiden's capriccio she cast within me, the nymphs dance away
Possessed by a lascivous spell
Only when you find yourself
And encounter the truth
Will the nymph of the woods
Show herself onto you
She will take your heart to the oracle
The huntress awaits now for your soul
And so the story unfolds
In a wheel of light
Her spirit forever roams
Naiad that protects the lake
Her ardent spells domain
Eyes that shine in the day await
Across the lake of the Limnades
