Tides of My Blood

[Intro] (soft wave crashes and low hum, building mystery)
Ah, my child… lost in the storm…
[Verse 1] (gentle, observational tone)
From the depths I watch you, boy of my ancient line
Unknowing of the power in your veins, divine
You cover fragile ears against the world’s cruel roar
Voices crash like breakers, leaving you sore
Sights blaze too fierce, a sun that burns your gaze
Touch recoils like lightning, setting nerves ablaze
You flee from arms that mean to hold you near
My heart, an ocean, swells with hidden fear
[Chorus] (building swell, with echoing reverb)
Oh, my silent son, adrift on mortal shore
I long to claim you, reveal what’s in store
But the fates bind my tongue, I watch from below
Your pain is my tempest, your tears overflow
Run to the water, let the waves be your guide
In my realm you’ll find peace, where secrets hide
Unaware you’re mine, yet the sea calls you home
In the blue you’ll be free, no more alone
[Verse 2] (intensifying, with light flute or wind-like sounds)
I see you elope, feet racing to the edge
Drawn by whispers only your soul can pledge
The land’s assault fades as foam kisses your skin
No more scratches, no stings, the calm rushes in
Sea creatures gather, they sense your true kin
Dolphins dance close, turtles nod with a grin
You commune in silence, no words need be said
My blood in your heart, turning dread into thread
[Chorus] (deeper, with layered harmonies)
Oh, my silent son, adrift on mortal shore
I long to claim you, reveal what’s in store
But the fates bind my tongue, I watch from below
Your pain is my tempest, your tears overflow
Run to the water, let the waves be your guide
In my realm you’ll find peace, where secrets hide
Unaware you’re mine, yet the sea calls you home
In the blue you’ll be free, no more alone
[Bridge] (slower, introspective—solo voice with harp, building back)
If only you knew the storms I could command
To shield you from chaos, with a wave of my hand
Your senses a gift, though they cut like a blade
In the deep they’ll awaken, unafraid
One day the truth crashes, like tide on the rock
Till then, I guard from afar, around the clock
[Final Chorus] (grand, full instrumentation, fading with wave echoes)
Oh, my silent son (my son), adrift on mortal shore
I long to claim you (claim you), reveal what’s in store
But the fates bind my tongue, I watch from below
Your pain is my tempest (tempest), your tears overflow
Run to the water (to the water), let the waves be your guide
In my realm you’ll find peace (find peace), where secrets hide
Unaware you’re mine, yet the sea calls you home
In the blue you’ll be free… no more alone
[Outro] (fading waves and distant thunder)
My child… home… in the blue…
