Brought a drowning man to shore
Then forgot him nevermore
Asked witch for a chance to see
If he was my destiny
Cost of passage was my voice
In a heartbeat made my choice
Landed joyful in his arms
Then witch lured him with her charms
Cast me back into the sea
No one came to rescue me
I dissolved without a trace
Fish queen held the man in place
Now I wonder what all for
Was love just a thankless chore?
Sacrificed to gain nothing
Empty shell of former king
