Mermaids

Under the water
Are things you can't see
They lurk in the dark
Waiting for thee

Flowing golden-yellow hair
Adorns skin pale and fair
Beautiful beyond compare
All the sailor stand and stare

Standing in place
Falling into a deep trance
They see you stare
And take their chance

Lulling them into the sea
With their charm
But they only wish to
Cause you harm

Walking, running
Into the sea
But still walking on land
Or so they believe

Breathing in water
Like breathing in air
If you wake up
You'll drown in despair

Cause the creatures are watching
And waiting for you
They take every chance
To see you through

The feed on your life
And you'll never escape
You'll drowned in the ocean
Before you wake

They are the devils of the deep
and the fantasies of the week
they have many names
but one describes them quiet clear
mermaids

End
