[Intro – Whispered Harmony] (Both voices, soft and distant) Oooooh… Far beyond the fading tide… Where the lost and silent glide… [Verse I – Pirate Tiger Lead] (Tenor–Baritone, steady and dark) I walked the decks where no wind blows, Through shattered masts and frozen crows, The compass spins, the stars are gone, Yet still my cursed hull sails on. Salt and bone beneath my claws, Bound by ancient, broken laws, A queen of storms, no grave to keep— I rule the tides that should not sleep. [Verse I – Harmony Response] (Alto–Soprano, flowing and luminous) Come below where silence sings, Where the drowned wear silver rings, Drift with me through emerald light… Leave behind the endless night… [Chorus – Dual Harmony] (Both voices, full harmony, soothing but powerful) Sail… sail the Sea of Dead, Where the living fear to tread, Call the names the waves have kept— Of those who sank and never wept… Ohhh… the tide remembers all, Every rise and every fall, In the deep where shadows bled— We are bound… to the Sea of Dead… [Verse II – Merfolk Tiger Lead] (Alto–Soprano, melodic and haunting) I drift where shattered lanterns gleam, A keeper of the sunken dream, Through coral bones and ghostly light, I guide the lost beyond their fright. My voice a thread through waters cold, A lullaby for hearts grown old, No chains, no crown, no blade, no breath— Just endless song… and softer death… [Verse II – Pirate Response] (Tenor–Baritone, quieter but resolute) Your song… it cuts through storm and sin, A call I’ve fought, yet now give in, For even kings of wreck and wave… Grow weary of the graves they gave… [Chorus – Expanded Harmony] (Both voices, stronger, layered harmonies) Sail… sail the Sea of Dead, Where forgotten paths are led, Hear the whispers in the foam— Every soul has found its home… Ohhh… let the black tide carry me, From the curse to endless sea, In your song, my fate is read— Guide me through… the Sea of Dead… [Bridge – Call & Response] Pirate (low, breaking): Am I doomed to drift alone…? Merfolk (soft, close): No soul is ever left unknown… Pirate: Will the storm still claim my name…? Merfolk: All tides return from whence they came… [Final Chorus – Unified Harmony] (Both voices fully blended, soothing and transcendent) Sail… sail the Sea of Dead, Lay your weary heart to rest, Through the dark and through the dread— Find the peace you were denied… Ohhh… in the deep we are the same, No more sorrow, no more pain, In the silence, softly led— We are free… in the Sea of Dead… [Outro – Fading Harmony] (Alto–Soprano lingering, Tenor–Baritone fading) Drift away… Drift away… Into the Sea… of Dead…
