about

'Mermaid's Crown' is one of my new song that will be released on my upcoming solo album. This version is an acoustic version which is a bit different to the album-version. It's about a girl loosing here home because of war.

lyrics

I am the queen of the sea,
the waves and the shells, they are singing for me,
the great poseidon is watching for me,
I am the queen auf the sea.

I walk through the ruins of my home,
my mom and dad have left me alone,
so I escape this life into the water deep down,
I walk through the streets of my home.

When the siren sings,
a storm is quite near,
expecting the thunder,
rigid with fear.
And I dream myself away,
into the water deep down,
to my love, to my heart,
to my mermaid's crown.

I am the queen of the sea,
the whales and seals, they are protecting me,
the terrifying men will never find me,
I am the queen of the sea.

When the siren sings,
a storm is quite near,
expecting the thunder,
rigid with fear.
And I dream myself away,
into the water deep down,
to my love, to my heart,
to my mermaid's crown.

They say my dreams are just dreams,
no seals, no whales and no queens,
I'm just a poor child in a demolished world,
where dreams are only just dreams.

But I say you are not right,
my dreams are my way to fight,
against this world, these men and everything else,
my only chance to survive.

When the siren sings,
a storm is quite near,
expecting the thunder,
rigid with fear.
And I dream myself away,
into the water deep down,
to my love, to my heart,
to my mermaid's crown.
