A sailor once thought he was king of the sea

lyrics:
[Intro]
The bastard sailor had caught my wind in his sails
Perchance what could happen if his only lifeline failed

[Refrain]
Oh, what would I do?
Oh, mm-mm, ah

[Verse 1]
I pull him down, I hope he drowns
Pray to the sea gods, beg for help
When you’re underwater, no one can hear you yell
Weren’t told to fear the Grindylow?
I’m a siren, when you hear my song
It’s already too late and it won’t take long

[Pre-Chorus]
Look beneath your feet and see an empty, deep blue
A void of fear in the unknown, just like the one in you
You’re sinking even further now, away from every light
A kelpie took an arrogant man, I watched it take a bite

[Chorus]
A sailor once thought he was king of the sea
He’s wandered a bit too far and now he deals with me
The krakens awaken awakened, Poseidon sends his blight
And these waters, these horrors, they get darker at night
A sailor once thought he was king of the sea
He thought he could swim when I was rounding
The sirens are singing, the gods of old and new
And these waters, these horrors, they scare me less than you

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
I’d watch him die, the depths will pop his eyes
Pray to your mommy for some help
But she only ever cared to help herself
And wasn’t I clear? Is there water in your ears?
I’m a siren, if you love me right
You’ll go free and survive the tide

[Pre-Chorus]
Look upon my face and see I’m empty, dark, and blue
Devoid of all the joy and light I left in spite of you
Believe me, it’s not easy grieving love I thought was mine
The agony of self-betrayal, heartbreak in my life

[Chorus]
A sailor once thought he was king of the sea
He’s wandered a bit too far and now he deals with me
The krakens awaken awakened, Poseidon sends his blight
And these waters, these horrors, they get darker at night
A sailor once thought he was king of the sea
He thought he could swim when I was rounding
The sirens are singing, the gods of old and new
And these waters, these horrors, they scare me less than you

[Outro]
The bastard sailor has met a watery grave
Perhaps he’d have not been killed if the siren’s heart was saved-aved-d-d
Bast-
Siren-
Siren killed-
The siren kill-
