The Triton’s Daughter – Dagon – letras

One night by a pallid moon, at a grotto by the seaMy eyes beheld a sight now carved into my mind eternallyRaven locks, lily skin, the ample curves of womanhoodBut with a tail of oceankindthe legends then I understoodForbidden longing, two worlds were never meant to pairPassion culled by siren song drifting on the ocean airDaughter of the lonely deepthere is no home we both can shareA love that cannot be, yet somehow it has come to bearLanguishing in solitude without herFixating on the vision of ocean mists about herLanguishing in solitude without herMy bosom holds but half a heartwithout the triton’s daughterFool, I said, within my mind, this love can’t truly beFor you, the son of land-born manand she the child of the rolling seaBut then my reason fell awaybeneath the soaring song of heartShe and I, my heart declared, shall tieas one and never partBut off the shore I thought I saw a luminescent eyeIn a flicker it was gone and so I cast it from my mindFoolish and myopic, I’m now haunted by the sightIt would undo the things I soughtand cast my being into the nightDoomed from the startA love maligned by land and seaBorn of the heartDespite what others say should beI hold no regrets’Tis better to have loved and lostBut I shan’t forgetMy love, my life, the dreadful cost
