Mermaid Eyes

There was once a mermaid Below the mirror of the moon In crystal puddles, she'd wait 'Fore hunger'd wake her soon

Something gnawed at her inside The thirst, a thrill to seek A sanguine flush lit up her eyes She sought something to eat.

Floral scent on her skin Smile rosé like wine She'd draw someone in A partner to dine

They thought her heart pure Saw the sparkle in her gaze Had fallen for her lure Suffocation, sweet embrace

So the water's red, gushing For her dance inspires The moon to start blushing From the blood of admirers
