Tell Our Story
Based on "Mermaid" by Sergey Kolesov
Delicate, floating through sea currents and sea trenches
Elegant, dancing through coral reefs and shipwrecks
Pure as the sun beams that shine through the surface
Gently giants that once called the ocean our home
Jagged, trampling the weak and stealing from nature
Cruel, punishing the innocent and spilling our blood
Empty as the depths after their reign
Puny little humans always craving more
We sang our song and lived for the sea
They yelled for their battles and won against the weak
We swam with pride and fell with beauty
Yet they can't even tell our story
So now I tell you of the real mermaids
The ones the size of whales and the ones full of life
The ones that took nothing but had everything taken
The mermaids you know never existed
And the mermaids that existed, you never knew
Don't listen to the humans that lie
Take it from a real mermaid,
And the last one alive.
