Lament of the Sea / Original Dark Sea Shanty

“Lament of the Sea” is a dark, emotional sea shanty with deep low-bass, mystical atmosphere, and sorrowful storytelling. This track blends traditional maritime folk themes with modern atmospheric production, creating a haunting sound that feels both ancient and otherworldly. Dreamy siren-like vocals, heavy ocean-inspired rhythms, and a powerful build carry the story of a sailor(s) claimed by the sea and a mother’s grief echoing across the waves.

The song follows a journey from quiet sorrow to rising emotional intensity, capturing the feeling of drifting between worlds — the weight of the ocean, the pull of fate, and the final embrace of Neptune. If you enjoy dark sea shanties, nautical folklore, emotional storytelling, or atmospheric EDM-influenced folk, this track is for you.

🖋️ Lyrics:
Mother please forgive your son
As he don't know what he has done
Mother please don't ask him to stay
As his heart sinks slowly to sea

Mother please just hold on his hand
He may never walk on promised land
Mother please just cry out your heart
As this salty water tears him apart

Mother, please forgive...
Mother, please forgive your son...
Neptune's treasure is he now

Where is a heart of salty sailor?
Mother, you should understand...
Where do our spirit feels like home?
Mother, you should understand...

Twice as hard as it may seem
Two sons leaving for the dream
Sailing on the seven seas
You should know that noone leaves...

Mother please just hold his hands
He may never walk on land
Mother please just cry out your heart
As Neptune calmly claims his part
