Green Eye of the Yellow God is a retelling of one of Mortimer’s favorite poems by J. Milton Hayes written in 1911. She wanted to create an enchanting, subtle, relatable, yet still dynamically stimulating and powerful atmosphere. To do so, she settled on using an instrumentally minimalistic though spirited soundscape and enhanced it with a rich melody, an indelibly catchy chorus, and nuanced and emotive vocals. 

LYRICS

There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Kathmandu,
There's a little marble cross below the town,
There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,
And the Yellow God forever gazes down
    
He was known as Mad Carew
And the colonel’s daughter was his fool
He loved her all  along with a passion so strong
 She was fond of him too
So he asked her what she wanted,
The- green eye of the little Yellow God would do

There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Kathmandu,
There's a little marble cross below the town,
There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,
And the Yellow God forever gazes down
And the Yellow God forever gazes down

So one night before a dance, Mad Carew was in a trance
Failed to smile, left for awhile,  poor man was crazed at glance
No knew where he went, the colonels daughter was left left to lament

Returning with his shirt torn
Gash across his temples dripping red
The colonel’s daughter feeling a storm
Her heart filling with horror and dread
Cause Mad Carew was dead

There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Kathmandu,
There's a little marble cross below the town,
There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,
And the Yellow God forever gazes down
    
While he slept with his door wide open
Silver moonlight pouring through 
Colonel’s daughter walking in subdued, her eyes wet, her soul cut in two (Little Yellow God of Kathmandu)
Ugly knife in her field of view, buried deep through the heart of Mad Carew
T’was the wrath and  vengeance of the little Yellow God of Kathmandu


There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Katmandu,
There's a little marble cross below the town,
There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,
And the Yellow God forever gazes down

There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Kathmandu,
There's a little marble cross below the town,
There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,
And the Yellow God forever gazes down

And the Yellow God forever gazes down
Forever gazes down

Green Eye

Green Eye of the Yellow God

Embrace of a lady's inner badass. Combining hard and soft, the bold soundscape traverses wildly engaging melodic lines with its slithering yet powerful vocals, hard guitars, a dancing harpsichord flitting about, and orchestral elements. Along with the dynamically rich lyrics, the finished piece is an originally thrilling and catchy song. New single off Mortimer's forthcoming album.

LYRICS

Looking in the mirror
Monster getting clearer
With a heart ready to feast
The lady, she is a beast

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told
 
Painting civility
Drowning their fragility
Her noble soul baring culpability
Corrupting incurable, vicious depravity

Looking in the mirror
Monster getting clearer
With a heart ready to feast
The lady, she is a beast

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told

Eight for a wis
Nine for a kiss
Ten a surprise you should be careful not to miss
Eleven for health
Twelfth for wealth
Thirteen beware it’s the devil himself

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told

The Lady is a Beast

Demand

Get messy make them cry! Second single off of Mortimer's sophomore album due out later this year. 

LYRICS
Pretty Baby the war bells have chimed
No need for halos get messy make them cry
Merrymaking a caustic change of heart
Move the needle turn it counter clockwise

Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time
Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time

Smash those demons that fill your vacant pause
Take what’s yours break their witty jaws
Play with havoc and take your final bow
You’ll see reflections of your own applause

Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time
Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time

The silence of the night
Crawling slowly and out of sight
Hapless touch of fire in your eyes
A crown of thorns dimming your light

Redeemer of sins that stands on the edge
A promise that aches of pretend
A dreamer rudely awakened
 Desire that drives you to the end

Locked in stone a heart full of lies
Take the bones and fall through the whys
Just a tremor of all you despise
Anoint the pain enjoy your sacrifice

Redeemer of sins that stands on the edge
A promise that aches of pretend
A dreamer rudely awakened
A desire that drives you to the end

Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time
Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time

Pretty Baby, oh pretty baby

Unicorn Queen FINAL VERSION

Pretty Baby's Crown of Thorns

letitflow

A stunning and immediately electrifying tour de force that relays the emotional yet fierce last moments of a trapped soul that rebelliously fights against her fate.  Titled after professional mourners who weep for those who have none, Wailing Night frames the solo fight of a lone soul desperate to free herself from the binds that tie her down. Single off Mortimer's forthcoming album dropping 8/02/24

LYRICS
The devil will lead me in tomorrow
The dawn will greet my sins with sorrow
In a mask of a thousand lies
The laughing face will dogmatize
When my deafened cries fall to heaven the mourning bell rings
Broken, aching hateful pieces of the losers happiness
Shattered thinly on the veil of my piercing screams

Ah, ah, ah

The silence it feels my breath and hunger
In the midst of prevailing death I wander
As the shadows blinds my eyes
The executioner will rise
When the free are overcome and their souls are going numb
I will take the plunge into the dark
With a smile as bright as the sun 

Don’t you take away my pain
When you’re all that’s left to blame
Powers in your hand a fleeting rain
A devastated winner trying in vain

The noose around my neck getting tighter
The noose around my neck getting tighter
The noose around my neck getting tighter
The noose around my neck getting tighter

Ah, ah, ah

Wailing Night

She'll make them burn! Newest single off Mortimer's upcoming album dropping 8/2/2024.

LYRICS
Don’t look back my darling
Run away to the land of make believe
Into the trap you’re falling
Make your stand, scream your passion play  

When you’re stuck and you won’t stop bleeding  
And the air in your lungs starts seething
Pay the debts that they’ve been seeding
With heavy fists as pure as marigold 

When you’re stuck and you won’t stop bleeding  
And the air in your lungs starts seething
Pay the debts that they’ve been seeding
With heavy fists as pure as marigold 

Woo

In your heart lies corruption 
Indulge your lust with deadly thrills that won’t betray
Justified are you darling
Poetically, satisfy your failing faith

When your dust falls to the ground
And your breaths don’t make a sound
When your ashes begin to weep
Withering marigold it’s time to sleep

When your dust falls to the ground
And your breaths don’t make a sound
When your ashes begin to weep
Withering marigold it’s time to sleep

When you’re stuck and you won’t stop bleeding  
And the air in your lungs starts seething
Pay the debts that they’ve been seeding
With heavy fists as pure as marigold 

When you’re stuck and you won’t stop bleeding  
And the air in your lungs starts seething
Pay the debts that they’ve been seeding
With heavy fists as pure as marigold

Marigold Vendetta

LYRICS 
Raining fear with their righteous dirt 
Muddying our bodies with heaven’s seal
Approving the mess they frolic and play 
Laughing while our souls rot away

They want us to believe 
When all they do is misbehave
Foul steps of their petty ways
bad disbeliever that’s what they say
 
Disbeliever is what you want to be   
Beating believer throwing stones
Disbeliever is what you need to be
Waiting for you to turn to bones
Disbeliever that’s what you want to be, disbeliever
Disbeliever

Flounder in choices eating you whole
Reflexive rejection unconsciously bold
Dropping concealed reckless abandon  
Shiny veneers, delusions sold

They want us to believe 
when all they do is misbehave
Foul steps of their petty ways
Bad disbeliever is what they say

Disbeliever is what you want to be   
Beating believer throwing stones
Disbeliever is what you need to be
Waiting for you to turn to bones
Disbeliever that’s what you want to be, disbeliever

Disbeliever is what you want to be   
Beating believer throwing stones
Disbeliever is what you need to be
Waiting for you to turn to bones

Disbeliever, disbeliever
