Mothers…

Knew her from fairy tales
The goddess of the sea
Spouse of a mortal man
Fond of her tender son:
Burnt him in holy fires,
Dipped him in mythic rivers
Hid him in female clothes
And sent him far away…
So no one could recruit him for the war!
Son of the seas!
Wow!

That’s why mother used to shout:
I’m quite normal, I’m damn mortal,
Forget the queen I am a mother
Always busy: To keep you save
Cherish your lives, protect you from
black forces: be they gods or men!

Knew, she assisted him
The goddess of the sea,
Always afraid to lose him.
Organised that shield:
Handcrafted by a god.
Helped him to kill my brother,
Made him return the corpse
The rest of our love…
(quick) And when he died she sent him to the isle of bliss!
Son of the seas!
Wow!

Still his mother starts to cry:
You’re quite normal, you’re damn mortal,
Forget the goddess I’m a mother
Always busy: To keep you save
Cherish your live, protect you from
black forces: be they gods or men!

To keep you save
Cherish your live, protect you from
black forces: be they gods or men!
Be they gods or men!
Always busy…
To keep you save…
