About Maguadine
“Usually, I prefer not to have an outline or know the outcome of a story before I start putting pen to paper. This might sound unusual, but it keeps the writing process exciting and for some reason the discovery feels more rewarding. Occasionally, I will even create a new word to give a song its own unique identity. Such is the case with Maguadine. In my imagination, it’s an ancient place named after a hero whose legend has long since faded into obscurity. Our protagonist lived in a dark age of superstition and cruelty. His life was not one or privilege and opportunity. He had to fight for survival and while struggling to make something of his life, he found purpose in helping those who could not help themselves.
Late one night, while stealing from the rich to feed the poor, Maguadine stumbles across an ancient parchment which describes a young woman who is cursed for ignoring the advances of an insidious necromancer. Banished from society and haunted by her own appearance, she now hunts for victims to assuage her own misery. Having given up hope after centuries of despair, she guards one last token of her youth – unaware her only treasure is actually the source of all her misfortune.”

Lyrics by Ryan Lucas
Outside two fiends guard the Phantom Queen
As a master thief passes by unseen
Slowly he skulks towards her bower room
Till the air runs fowl like a rotting tomb
And then the banshee screams
Quick as a fox
He grabs one jeweled box
Dodging blows that a shadow swings
While climbing outside of an open window
As the wraith stretches out her wings
And still the banshee screams
Half way down
He jumps for the trees
To break his fall as she claws at his knees
One last chance to jimmy the locket
That guards her heart in the fold of his pocket
And so the banshee screams
