WOULD SOMEONE CHECK MY LATIN?

OK so I've been working on music for Kirastar and came up with a short song or chant.
Hospis ex Spatio
Dave W liked it, but I felt it wasn't quite serious enough and planed to revamp it. In doing so, I decided to change some lyrics; I also want it to be correct, and I don't exactly trust Google to conjugate things properly here. Can someone help me make certain it's proper Latin? Here's what I've got...
"Intruder from space, Eater of hope, Devourer of dreams. Consumer of minds, Demolisher of worlds, A devouring shadow!"
"Intrusor ex spatio, Comedenti spei, Devoratrix somnia. Consumer mentium, DEMOLITOR mundorum, A vorans umbra!"

I can't help you with this myself (I took Ancient Greek in college instead), but I can recommend http://www.textkit.com/greek-latin-forum/ as a good classics forum. It focuses mostly on reading and interpreting texts, but there is a composition aspect to the forums as well. Perhap you could get your Latin checked there.
I can't help much but I'm sure some parts are incorrect.
Intrusor is a masculine word, while devoratrix is feminine, so if you're referring to the same person/thing perhaps it's incorrect.
Pretty sure "consumer" is not latin. Even if it ends in -r I don't think it belongs to the 2dec.
In "A vorans umbra" the A is most certainly carried over from the english text because latin doesn't use articles.
But don't trust me, I always sucked at latin.

Actully i decided to pikc up a guide to Latin from the library today.
