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
