A Lady Called the Sea
Once upon a forgotten age
Before the land fell into rage
A maiden sat upon a throne
A throne carved of coral stone
She wove a spell upon the seas
A spell carried by the breeze
That shall forever linger to
Protect her realm from beasts like you
And so the seas and winds revealed
Their guardians of foam and thunder
Tossing sand and rock asunder
They were to be the maiden’s shield
Yet still you sought to raid and plunder
Through her fields of awe and wonder
You beckoned the gods of heat and steel
And dove into the depths surreal
Useless were the guardians against
The legions of the iron crest
Then came that fateful morning
When the line of guardians was broken
And of the maiden survived one token
A single soul that’s trapped in mourning
A lonesome soul that chants and sings
Of what our senseless greed can bring
