She, Atargatis
Hey you out there I'm here, but I'll sure let you dream
All you big boy burly sailors, I'll allure to your unseen
Even going back to my ancestors, away back, down Assyria way
Our goddess our love, Atargatis, became doomed by your say
To escape you, you men, who desired to reap your want
Why should she internally repent, to the depths, a Mermaid now sent
And now through your aeon of time, perilous events we've now shared
If us Mermaids had never have existed, you'd probably say you'd been spared
Even through the ages innocent animals have been accused
Is it your typical human we, it doesn't matter who's abused
Dugongs, Manatee's are beautiful, creatures of whom we've swam
Remember, you've never been the elite, ever since we all began
Hey, let me say, to your National Ocean Service, what makes you think you know
When we've been around so much longer than you, who says we have to show?
