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
