"You see," the fair mermaid queen continued
"as queen I'd do anything for my own,
but now I do not know what I should do
I feel I no longer deserve a throne"
"Your majesty" Gary began to ask
"what on Earth could this great wrongdoing be?
what in this sea could you possible lack?
Could true evil come from such great beauty?"
"I am afraid I have done a great wrong;
selfishness has brought me to this dark place."
Now bitter notes took over her sweet song
The fair mermaid queen had to hide her face
"They think that the old king died on his own...
he died by my hand; I usurped the throne."
