A dead man’s daughter
she sings her song
a song of sorrow
a song to keep

Her melodious voice
tells a story
of pain and love
mingled in one complicated tale

A dead man’s daughter
pours her soul
into the abyss,
into a boy
who never stays.

She reaches a pitch
you can’t achieve
when singing of the boy
who only leaves

A dead man’s daughter
sings of sadness
a new type of music
that makes real tears
in everyone who hears it.

Her face is pale,
her eyes are red
when she sings of all
the people who’ve left.

A dead man’s daughter
stands at the edge.
She holds her breath.
She takes a leap.

The world is void
of her beautiful voice,
the voice that sang of sadness.
The voice that sang of pain.

A dead man’s daughter
is a million feet under
the waves.
She’ll never be found,
as it was when she was alive.

A dead man’s daughter
has joined her father
over the cliff,
under the waves.
