Rusalka from *NEW* Undertow by Sharon Knight

Sailor sleep, I’ll drench your dreams in dread
A wisp of something better left unsaid

My voice a silver arrow
Bearing salt into the wounds of your regret
Songs ensnare you, it is time

My tides will overtake you
Drowning in the voices that forsake you

Cast away your claim on life, face your tomb and cave
With lilting lies and longing eyes I lay your murky grave

Horror creeps, and binds you in your fear
Stop your pleading, there’s no one to hear

Bruised and bleeding
Broken lips betray the violence of your kiss
Life receding, it is time

You’ll pay for what you’ve taken
Yours a dream from which you won’t awaken

Cast away your claim on life, face your tomb and cave
With lilting lies and longing eyes I lay your murky grave

The mist is lifting, lifting, none shall ever find you
Your dreams so dark and drifting, evermore shall bind you.
