The Tritons Daughter by Dagon Lyrics

One night by a pallid moon, at a grotto by the sea
My eyes beheld a sight now carved into my mind eternally
Haven locks, lily skin, the ample curves of womanhood
But with a tale of oceankind, the legends then, I understood

Forbidden longing, two worlds were never meant to pair
Passion culled by siren song drifting on the open air
Daughter of the lonely deep, there is no home we both can share
A love that cannot be, yet has comе to bear

Languishing in solitude without her
Fixating on thе vision of ocean mists about her
Languishing in solitude without her
My bosom halts, but hath a heart without Triton's daughter

Fool, I said within my mind, this love can't truly be
For you the son of land born men and she the child of rolling sea
But then my reason fell away with soaring song of heart
She and I, my heart declared will be as one and never part

But off the shore, I thought, I saw a luminescent eye
In a flicker it was gone and so I cast it from my mind
Foolish and myopic, I'm now haunted by the sight
It would undo the things I sought and cast my being into night
Doomed from the start
A love mangled by land and sea
Born of heart
Despite what others say should be
I hold no regrets
'Tis better to have loved and lost
But I shan't forget
My love, my life, the dreadful cost
