Lyrics
When the skies cracked open and angels fell
Most followed Lucifer to Hell
Some arrived on land and some dropped in the sea
These are the faeries and the silkie
Woman or man upon the land
They rest themselves on shoreline sand
There are none so dark and comely
As the silkie that live in the sea
There’s a man who lived in north Ireland
Saw a dark tone woman on a rocky island
As she slept in thesun he stole her skin
Awake she had to follow and obey him
He made her his own his dark prize wife
Together they lived a happy life
But she’d stand by the water and cry in the sea
And long to return to the life of silkie
They lived together for seven years
Each night she wept seven tears
Seven children she did bare
The oldest was dark and six were fair
The fisherman kept a secret chest
In it he cached her natural dress
One night she got her hand on the key
Put on her skin and returned to the sea
Back in the water, she swam with ease
The man and six children were displeased
The dark son, he ran into the bay
And with his mother he swam away
