Mermaids

album: The Beginning of Times

released on May 25, 2011

On the blue waters of mermaids

I was sailing on the blue

Brought up a catch of strangest wonder

On the blue

And I drew my knife to gut

What I had taken from the blue

But it was gone, back to the lake

And vanished into, into the blue

The waters, they parted

As she rose to shine

She was my maid, my wife-to-be

Returned to me this one time

I did not know her, I made her flee

Flee from me

Beneath the waves and marbled rocks

Watery canyon of blackest depths

My hope was sunk, my dream taken away

Taken away

Woe to you, she said to me

As she broke cover of the blue

Don't you know me?

I couldn't be yours after all

I never knew

The waters, they parted

As she rose to shine

She was my maid, my wife-to-be

Returned to me this one time

I did not know her, I made her flee

Flee from me, flee from me

Beneath the waves and marbled rocks

Watery canyon of blackest depths

My hope was sunk, my dream taken away

Taken away, taken away !
