Compos Mentis - Mermaid Decapitation lyrics

As I look at the river the colours change Fading from bright dark to bloodred green A stream of blood pa**es while our pride expires Proudly sculpturing a headless culture An old legend that is borne by the fairy tale land A literary masterpiece abused by the human hand Her beauty spoiled by the blade so gory A decapitated mermaid in all its glory A fabulous monster searching for harmony Left without a voice to defend herself Though her soulless essence surpa**es her remains Even the smallest diamond shines As the k**ers slowly mutilate her verdigris skin Voiceless, headless and left to die Towards the roaring vortex through lifeless grey mud Pacing at the thunderous eddy dragging the surroundings down Drowned for eternity and left as foam above White skeletons peek through the viscous creatures That patiently stifle their prey A guinea pig for a distorted new art form As a mermaid k**er crosses her path Everything ventured for her soul's immortality Everything lost to the two-edged sword
