Oisin, My Bastard Brother

Out hunting on the beach at dawn
 Your arrow struck a magic fawn
 Wonder and surprise
 When it changed before your eyes
 Oh, my!
 Words transformed your skin and bones
 As she described her secret throne
 This daughter of the sea
 Oh, but you went willingly
 Yes, it's true
 Her shipwreck eyes, her deep-sea gaze
 Stirred up desire, churned up the waves
 White horses, foaming steeds
 Brought you down through the deep
 Oisin, my bastard brother
 Stay awhile, let's have another
 Years go by, your mother cries,
 "Gone, he's gone, my precious son!"
 Your father thins into the air
 Your friends keep watch but then they despair
 In hallowed halls in darkest ocean
 You lived perfection in slow motion
 Centuries went by
 Till one day you woke and cried,
 "It's been too long!"
 She let you go, she brought you home
 To discover you were now alone
 In a place you could not recognize
 'Cause everyone had died
 What a shame
 The missing years came in to claim
 Your stretched out soul, your human frame
 You wandered old and mad
 Then you withered on the sand
 Oisin, my bastard brother
 It's not too late, let's have another
 Your story pains me as I dream
 Of people I have known
 Of places I have been
 Please join me for a toast, a drink
 We're brothers you and I,
 I think
