Erin Nightingale - Heartless Blue (feat. Shay Green)

I look up, I look up
Up through silvery summits
Past the brine and the blue of the sea
Far away, far away
Lies the earth like a stone
Where the wind swept away your memory
You must feel, you must know
The earth cannot caress
Nor cradle, contented, alone
For I see, yes, I see
Like a shell on the swells
You have come to me here, to my home

But I'm not here
This is all that I gather from you
The shadows are never here
The figures fade swiftly from view
Figures you knew
Delving down through heartless blue

My sisters, my sisters
Once smiled at the crewmen
Gliding combs of pearl through long, gleaming hair
Now they and my brothers
Ne'er rise from the bottom
Leaving simple Sirenia there
We never Have doubted your presence
A fleet is as whales on the foam
Strange laws and strange customs
Stranger gods, crafts and workings
Yet till now we've allowed you to roam
Roam

Now you are here
In the heart and the hands of the sea
Of a goddess so cold and clear
And still in her grasp you can't see
So you must be
Barred from beholding me

My brothers, my sisters
Arise through the silence
Surge up through the shadow and salt
With voices, sweet voices
Stir up peaks and currents
Sing tempest to heavenly vault
Silver scales, flowing hair
Figures meld in the swelling
A flash, and the waves roar and toss
You'll never, you'll never
Hear the mer-chorus singing
My crooning of anger and loss

Oh, Tempest, douse dizzy ships
With the song on my lips
Let them know

That I am here
Ocean speaks as it swallows you down
The wind screams it in your ear
I was lost as Earth traveled around
Now I am found
Fathoms from feckless ground

Come to me
Through the flotsam and e'er raging blue
I'll take you away with me
From the shrilling and grey Torrent's view
Down through the brew
From the voices and faces and figures you know
To the soft-swaying shadows, the sweet-singing slew
Figures you knew
Streaming down through the heartless blue
