She's lovely and fair,
Her tail glittering 'neath
The monstrous waves.
She sings a beautiful,
Song, one full of sorrow.
It makes you pity her,
And soon you'll wish to follow.
Follow her into the depths,
Young sailor,
She'll show you wondrous things.
Light and love, sweet love,
She'll show you how to sing.
You'll ask for breath,
But she will grant you none.
You will accept this,
Because she says
"It'll soon be done."
Follow her into the depths,
Young sailor,
She'll show you darker things.
Death, pain, the sad rings
Of death's bells as they toll.
You have fallen for her,
But she wished for you to drown.
You have loved her,
And she loved to see your broken crown.
Follow her into the depths,
Young sailor,
And you will savor those last breaths.
