The Mermaid of Dead Man's Reef

Dem say if you sail too close... To Dead Man's Reef... You can still hear her sing... Black clouds cover di moon tonight Cold sea swallow every light Old fishermen lock dem door Nobody sail here anymore Far beneath di hurricane sky A lonely mermaid still cry Her silver tail now covered in scars Praying to forgotten stars She loved a prince from another shore But death come knocking at her door Now every wave carry her pain Again and again and again... Hear di wind... Hear di sea... Hear di dead call back to me... Hear her voice... Soft and low... From di darkness down below... She's singing... From di bottom of di ocean... Calling... Through di blackest water... Crying... For a love she cannot hold... The Mermaid of Dead Man's Reef... Never growing old... Sea witch rise from di coral grave Promise her everything she crave Trade your voice and trade your soul Pay di price and lose control She walk di shore with bleeding feet Every heartbeat bring defeat Prince never knew her name Never knew her endless pain So she return to di raging tide With a broken heart she could not hide Now drowned sailors hear her cry As ghost ships slowly drift by Ohhhhhhhhhhh... Ohhhhhhhhhhh... Come below... Come below... Come below... Shadows dancing through di foam The ocean become her tomb Cold green eyes beneath di wave Guarding every sailor's grave When di lightning split di sky You can hear her mournful cry Calling lovers lost at sea To join her eternity She's singing... From di kingdom of sorrow... Calling... Through di depths below... Crying... For a love she never knew... The Mermaid of Dead Man's Reef... Still waiting for you... If you hear her voice... Do not answer... If you see her eyes... Do not follow... Because some hearts... Never stop breaking... Even after death...
