Mermaid Death

Music/Lyrics-Deanna

Perched upon foam soaked rock

Hair spilling into salty surf

The mermaid wails her last goodbye

Rotting scales herald death

Farewells hasten with each new day

Sirens song prophetic for herself

Evidence everywhere

Unbending trees now collapse into molested splinters

Blood choked waves assault immolated beaches

Unkind good-byes birthed from false hellos

Eyes stitched open

Ears carved closed

Two legged beast now reaps what it sows

Winter in her eyes as her gaze ices over

Autumn in her breast as it withers in decay

Blooming poison is her spring

A summer hunt plunges her into a watery grave

Evidence everywhere

Unbending trees now collapse into molested splinters

Blood choked waves assault immolated beaches

Unkind good-byes birthed from false hellos

Eyes stitched open

Ears carved closed

Two legged beast now reaps what it sows
