A tale as old as time. A goddess falls in love with a mortal. The goddess sacrifices herself to save his people. For a thousand years, she waits for him at the bottom of a lake, but his people forget her. Until finally, one day, she rises.
Lyrics
[chorus]
[verse]
Far below the waves of yore
Underneath the sad distant shore
There she lies, my love, my love,
Taunted by survivors above
In the war she fought and died
Over the seas we pass her by
Young and old gaze down below
Deep inside, the darkness does glow
[chorus]
[verse]
Love, I softly drift alone
Shriveled in godly flesh and bone
Waiting for your cold embrace
Destitute in this darkened place
Cannon fired and sank me fast
Now I sink, reliving my past
Wishing for your golden face
Hollowed now as the eons pace
[chorus]
[verse]
Thousand years, I lie awake
Unmarked, unloved my water grave
A goddess long forgotten
A golden light, slowly rotten
The water ebbs, the lake dies
My lover gone, lost in the skies
I climb the shores, hell made real
Remember me, now that I kill
[chorus]
[verse]
Thousand years, I was adored
Loved by all on the distant shore
I loved you too, long ago
And sacrificed to live below
'Tis not my fault, you forget
The fealty lost, my long regret
My constant stare, unreturned
The world above will surely burn
[chorus]
