Siren Now (Dark Little Mermaid-Ariel)
[Intro] [slow eerie piano with distorted underwater synths and breathy coloratura hum] [Verse 1] The knife cut deep when I traded my voice for legs Every step felt like walking on broken glass and eggs The prince smiled pretty while he sharpened his blade Hunting my sisters for sport in the waves [Pre-Chorus] Ursula laughed as she took what was left of me [Chorus] Iβm the siren now, voice ripped from my throat Iβm the siren now, blood in the water and Iβm the ghost Iβm the siren now, dragging sailors down below Iβm the siren now, and Iβm never letting go [Verse 2] He kissed my silent mouth like I was already dead Didnβt know I was screaming inside my head My tail is gone but the hunger stayed Now I sing without sound and I make them pay [Chorus] Iβm the siren now, voice ripped from my throat Iβm the siren now, blood in the water and Iβm the ghost Iβm the siren now, dragging sailors down below Iβm the siren now, and Iβm never letting go [Bridge] [slow theatrical violin solo with wide seductive coloratura runs building to screaming intensity] Every scale I lost left a scar on my soul Now the ocean is hungry and Iβm in control [Verse 3] Prince tried to run when he saw what Iβd become But the sea always claims what the witch has won No happy ending, no kiss to break the spell Just a dead girl singing as the whole kingdom fell [Final Chorus] Iβm the siren now, voice ripped from my throat Iβm the siren now, blood in the water and Iβm the ghost Iβm the siren now, dragging sailors down below Iβm the siren now, and Iβm never letting go [Outro] [defiant soaring coloratura ad-libs with distorted violin and fading piano] Iβm the siren nowβ¦ yeahβ¦ never letting goβ¦
