Rotting Mermaid
The two young hearts were craving more
The sea was calm, the world remote
Affection filled their little boat
The day they left the shore
The lovers never since looked back
And blinded by each others sight
They lost their way just when the night
Would turn the world pitch-black
Mermaid, mermaid, where is your heart?
You don't live but still can't die
Your body decays and falls apart
Do you think he hears your cry?
Once Neptunes rage had been set free
A storm came up, wave after wave
To bring the young man to his grave
He vanished in the sea
His loved one tried to grab his hand
But things were out of her command
Mermaid, mermaid, where is your heart?
You don't live but still can't die
Your body decays and falls apart
Do you think he hears your cry?
She screamed in vain for what she'd lost
Dove after him, her soul to trade
Became the deepest darkness' maid
To save him at all cost
The curse keeps her dead eyes awake
The ocean is her world to roam
To find and bring her lover home
No, him she won't forsake
Her twisted body rots away
But still she searches every day
Mermaid, mermaid, where is your heart?
You don't live but still can't die
Your body decays and falls apart
Do you think he hears your cry?
Mermaid, mermaid, where is your heart?
You don't live but still can't die
Your body decays and falls apart
Do you think he hears your cry?
Maybe he's still alive?
The sea was calm, the world remote
Affection filled their little boat
The day they left the shore
The lovers never since looked back
And blinded by each others sight
They lost their way just when the night
Would turn the world pitch-black
Mermaid, mermaid, where is your heart?
You don't live but still can't die
Your body decays and falls apart
Do you think he hears your cry?
Once Neptunes rage had been set free
A storm came up, wave after wave
To bring the young man to his grave
He vanished in the sea
His loved one tried to grab his hand
But things were out of her command
Mermaid, mermaid, where is your heart?
You don't live but still can't die
Your body decays and falls apart
Do you think he hears your cry?
She screamed in vain for what she'd lost
Dove after him, her soul to trade
Became the deepest darkness' maid
To save him at all cost
The curse keeps her dead eyes awake
The ocean is her world to roam
To find and bring her lover home
No, him she won't forsake
Her twisted body rots away
But still she searches every day
Mermaid, mermaid, where is your heart?
You don't live but still can't die
Your body decays and falls apart
Do you think he hears your cry?
Mermaid, mermaid, where is your heart?
You don't live but still can't die
Your body decays and falls apart
Do you think he hears your cry?
Maybe he's still alive?
