She slips out the door
When no one is watching
Makes her way to the sand
And she's all alone
There for the swimming
Turns her back on the land
The water is cold
Air is salty
As she fights the will of the wake
And she's unaware
That something is lurking
And she's swimming to her grave
Down, down, down will she go
The queen of the ocean
Down to the heart of the sea
She sits on her throne
At the root of the mountain
Her spirit is finally free
She heard a crack
Before pain was searing
Water as crimson as rose
She let out a cry
That was drowned in the current
Her body dragged into the cold
Down, down, down will she go
The queen of the ocean
Down to the heart of the sea
She sits on her throne
At the root of the mountain
Her spirit is finally free
She'll never return
But she's not forgotten
Her shoes still next to the sea
And with them a sound
Of her mourning mother
Crying daughter! Please come back to me!
Down, down, down will she go
The queen of the ocean
Down to the heart of the sea
She sits on her throne
At the root of the mountain
Her spirit is finally free
