Rising through the darkest pool
Of turquoise swirling slow
She's as black as light is bright
And eyes of violet glow
Octopus girl sings a song of
Sadness that is sweet
Floating cutting through the water
She does not have feet
Black mermaid how do you breathe?
How do you sing so sweet?
I know that you're a myth
My love you're dying in my sleep
There's a force you know is bad
It takes you to the light
And a lifetime swallows you
You die to see the sky
