[Intro: soft piano, light strings swell] [children choir softly] La la la… la la la… [Verse 1] I was a girl with a silver sword Dancing on deck under golden sun He came with smiles, words like sweet poison Whispered forever, and I believed every one [Pre-Chorus] Oh I was blind… so blind [Chorus] Betrayal! (brass stabs!) He took the ship, he drowned my world Stole the gold, broke my mother's heart Vengeance rose like a crimson tide I became the cold queen of the sea tonight! [children choir echo] Tonight… tonight… [Verse 2] Father planned it all, the storm, the screams Left us beggars on a barren shore Mother withered cursing his name Till death took her… I couldn't take no more [Pre-Chorus] The fire grew… inside of me [Chorus] Revenge! (sword clash SFX!) I found his ship on moonless waves Blade in hand, I carved his lying face Threw him down where the sharks await Now the ocean sings his final fate! [children choir] His final… fate… [Bridge] [slow tempo, solo piano, light reverb] But there's a child… with his eyes, my blood I should hate her, cast her to the flood [low cello drone] Every night I reach… then pull away I saved her life but lost my heart that day [children choir soft, almost whispering] Why can't I love… why can't I stay… [Final Chorus – build up, full band + strings] No mercy! (brass fanfare!) No forgiveness in this chest I'm the monster that he made, I confess Rose, my Rose, forgive what I can't give A mother's love died with the life I used to live [children choir layered, soaring] La la la… la la la… (ocean wave crash fade) [Outro: piano slows, single vocal] [soft] I sail on… cold and free… But darling Rose… you're still part of me… [children choir final faint ahhs] [fade with wave sounds + distant piano chord]
