Nobody knows but I am a mermaid!

“I am a creature of the Fey

Prepare to give your soul away

My spell is passion and it is art

My song can bind a human heart

And if you chance to know my face

My hold shall be your last embrace.

I shall be thy lover...

I am unlike a mortal lass

From dreams of longing I have passed

I came upon your lonely cries

Revealed beauty to your eyes

So shun the world that you have known

And spend your nights within my own.

I shall be thy lover...

You shall be known by other men

For your great works of voice and pen

Yet inspiration has a cost

For with me know your soul is lost

I'll take your passion and your skill

I'll take your young life quicker still.

I shall be thy lover...

Through the kisses that I give

I draw from you that I will live

And though you think this weakness grand

The touch of death your lover's hand

Your will to live has come too late

Come to my arms and love this fate 

I shall be thy lover...

I am a creature of the Fey

Prepare to give your soul away

My spell is passion and it is art

My song can bind a human heart

And if you chance to know my face

My hold shall be your last embrace.”
