Briny brink
And salty dreams
The ocean calls her name
Shed her skin
To take a peak
And man exposed her sin
Kept away
Under lock and key
No freedom from decay
Forced to wed
Captive breed
Her heart is yet consumed
Comes the day
He makes a mistake
And his selkie runs away
Forever thereafter
Their children seek too
The secrets of Neptune's blue
