Oisin, My Bastard Brother
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Out hunting on the beach at dawn
Your arrow struck a magic fawn
Wonder and surprise
When it changed before your eyes
Oh, my!
Words transformed your skin and bones
As she described her secret throne
This daughter of the sea
Oh, but you went willingly
Yes, it's true
Her shipwreck eyes, her deep-sea gaze
Stirred up desire, churned up the waves
White horses, foaming steeds
Brought you down through the deep
Oisin, my bastard brother
Stay awhile, let's have another
Years go by, your mother cries
Gone, he's gone, my precious son
Your father thins into the air
Your friends keep watch but then they despair
In hallowed halls in darkest ocean
You lived perfection in slow motion
Centuries went by
Till one day you woke and cried,
"It's been too long!"
She let you go, she brought you home
To discover you were now alone
In a place you could not recognize
Cause everyone had died
