Sea Witch Lament
Oh me oh my, how do I begin
Well, when once I was of a ruling kind, following in the footsteps of my kin
But brother dear never saw things my way, all of my ideas were of sin
Though I was supposed to be older and wiser than he,
He had the gall to disagree
And so he decided to banish me to the far reaches of the sea
Away from his new kingdom
Away from his light
Now you may see the reason for my plight
I wanted things to be fair in my kingdom, everything would be give and take
But no, there became a hierarchy appearing in his wake
Everyone had a purpose, and everyone had a place
I became his family's one disgrace
I live my life in squalor, with eel companions as my company
As he lives his in splendor, basking in his little symphony
His daughters sing, and his subjects cheer
But none know of why he should be feared
He has power, maybe stronger than me
As he cast me out of his new society
His daughter came, and I was glad
I could teach a lesson, it wouldn't be too bad
I wanted to show her life was not all fun
And so I would show her what it would feel like to lose when all was done
She told me of her love, oh how carefree was she
But I know young love will not last, and so she would see
I gave her a choice, a fair one at that
And she accepted, simple, but she could no longer stay and chat
She had a time limit, but more importantly yet
She had to give her voice, though she needn't fret
All she had to do was prove me wrong
Then she could once again sing her silly little song
But she had went and done it
And I do admit
That in a little rage I threw a little fit
I tried to force her out of this ridiculous love
And so I, myself ventured above
I tried to take this love of hers away
She would have thanked me some day
But everyone had become undone
And in the end she and her rose tinted view on life had won
I had been impaled with a ship by Triton's new son
I sank into the depths as I heard them merrily cry
And realized that I was the wicked witch in this tale that had to die
