The Drowning Lyrics

A hundred years before my story did unfold

What I saw in dreams was happening for real

A vessel hits the waves, the journey is in vein

A fate that no one wants to sing



Among the crew she stands so pale

Natassa, thy beloved one

She's to share the fate of all the males



And as days passed by in waters calm

Showing no sign of what's to come

A storm was brewing to the north

The rage of sea come forth



There came storm clouds black

The waters darkened, oh so fast

As instant they were caught

In the middle of a fierce sea storm

All in the ship was shivering

Knowing not what was happening

And only she could really see

And stared in awe the figure near

A woman dressed in jellyfish

With eyes like pearls, and hair like seaweed

Like garments she wore seals

From seashell were her fingernails



The huge form near the ship

Laughs in delight

The girl stands petrified

Meaningless the efforts of all aboard

As she knows the source of the storm

A female voice echoes in the girls mind

Asking her now to dive

Accept the waters cold embrace

To have one last chance to change her fate



In agony the choice is made

The girl is thrown into the waves

To be one with the creatures of the sea

From this moment and eternally

And she did drown but did not die

Choosing to sit by the Goddesses side

Promising to take the pain of loss away

Such strange the games God's play
