Mermaid










MERMAID


 A STORY OF THE AGES

 a legend IN THE WATERS

  FROM FANTASY TO LORE

his dwelling is THE DEPTHS

unfathomable to imagine

we think with tales of wonder

but when the mermaid sees the surface

it's darkened by the thunder

he sees the story of us

we hunt his kind all over

to feed our thirst for more


 

for the mermaid

An ancient PATH was chosen

Within the blue He'd find his home

ITS vastness his realm, his paradise

HIS world safe and beyond

HE glides THE waves WITH THE MASTERS

BECAUSE HE’S lived among THEM ALL ALONG

IF NOT FOR MAN ON THE SURFACE

WITH HIS INSATIABLE THIRST TO DESTROY

FOR BLACK GOLD man INJURES  

AND FILLS THE mermaid's SANCTUARY WITH NOISE

FROM THE DEPTHS A TALE OF SORROW

when THE TIDES FLOW OUT WITH RED

A STORY OF TWO FRIENDS AND THEIR JOURNEY

WHALE AND MERMAID MEET THEIR DEATH.
