Only Fire, No Sun (demo)

I think I posted this demo on the old forum. I was too close to my microphone, especially when belting out some of the lines. I'm planning to make a new demo and will include this one with my horror novel.

--Verse 1
Evil paves your road to suffer
her truths and lies
The teacher draws your lesson
burns it into your eyes

-- Pre-chorus 1
Autumn's winds will reach you
(her zephyr will burn)
And her tides will teach you
(the lessons you'll learn)
And her storms will break you
(you will know)
All the way down
Where her stairs descend
You will go

-- Chorus
Feel the pain of her flame
It's a warning
Taste her kiss
In her spell you are falling
Pledge your soul on the wrong side of midnight
Follow her dark and you'll know
Only fire, no sun
Only fire, no sun

--Verse 2
You've got to taste her skin
It's a fever that burns inside
Wrapped inside her flesh it's too late
to escape or die

-- Pre-chorus 2
Autumn's voice hypnotized you
(you're lost in her maze)
Her rough touch energized you
(your heart is her slave)
All her dark possessed you
(you are hers)
All the way down
Where her chains lead you
You will go

[Chorus]

-- Bridge
She draws blood with her nails through my heart
that only bleeds love for her
Lights my dark with the rings on her sun till I'm blind
I won't escape her desire
I can't resist and I don't deny her
My heart is only hers while she's not mine

REM and Fleetwood Mac have been mentioned. I'd add the Bee Gees to that list. Yes, it may benefit from a revisit but I really enjoyed this. It's a well structured song that's an easy listen. It's retro for sure, but it works for me.😀

@Xman97040 and @ChrisPrice many thanks for listening and your comments! I look forward to hearing new music from you both soon. 😀

Cheers,
