The leaves dance as the breeze flies by

The sweet smell of the fruits rotting take my senses high

I stare at your wide back as I start to lose sight

I'm sorry my darling but I'm losing this fight

In this kingdom by the sea

Nobody knows what ails me

No potion was able to cure away the poison

The poison brought by the wind to me

I took the ring you bestowed on me

In return I promised you an offspring

We swore an oath at our place by the sea

Not knowing it is where I'll be enthroned to watch you without me

For nights you camped beside my coffin

You howled aloud that left echos of goodbye unspoken

You expressed you sorrow of losing me so sudden

Were you hoping to end by the same toxin?

If only the tides didn't capsize our ship before it sailed

If only the heavens allowed me be healed

I would have given you an heir

I would not have been stuck in this lair
