The ocean never sleeps
It's always awake
Awake
waiting, watching, listening.
Deep in the depths of the ocean
Lives sirens and mermaids.
They say what's the difference between the two?
Well, a siren is more gorgeous, more deadly, more dangerous, more cunning;
With an intoxicating voice that sounds like a sweet melody,
And an enchanting voice that traps its seducer.
A mermaid has her beauty, kindness, friendliness;
With hypnotizing voices that lure men
But mermaids are helpful, you see
They lure men away from shipwrecks
Making sure that sirens don't cause too much attention.
Too many missing bodies cause suspiciousness.
Mermaids are there to help so there are no suspiciousness of magical creatures of the water,
Of the water where intoxicating beauty lives.
