Loreena's unique voice has a tendency to enhance whatever emotion she wants to convey, including terror.
- The verse in "The Bonny Swans" in which the heroine's body is made into a harp. Sure, it does help her ghost to expose her murderer, but this does not make the imagary any less disturbing."He made harp pins of her fingers fair
Hey he ho and me bonny o
He made harp strings of her golden hair
The swans swim so bonny o
He made a harp of her breast bone..."- The music video for the song adds another bit in the form of the rather terrifying skull mask Anne wears for the court masquerade.
- The Wham Line of "who drowned me for the sake of a man" is also chilling.
- The likely fate of the stolen child in "Stolen Child."
- The fate of Bess and the Highwayman in "The Highwayman, doomed to reenact the night of their death forever...
- The ultimate conclusion of "Cymbeline". Whether you`re rich or poor, educated or not, nothing can change how it ends..."All follow this and come to dust".
- What the knight-at-arms dreams in "La Belle Dame Sans Merci"... that the fairy woman who has enchanted him and stolen his heart has done this to many men before:"I saw pale kings and princes too
Pale warriors, death-pale were all
They cried, "La Belle Dame Sans Merci
Hath thee in thrall"
I saw their starved lips in the gloam
With horrid warning gaped wide
And I awoke and found me here
On the cold hillside." - In "Standing Stones", the heroine's lover is ambushed and stabbed to death while walking home at night.
