🎵 “The Ballad of the Sea-Born Son” — Medieval Version

Prologue — Plainsong, unaccompanied voices

Lo, the waves whisper of heroes past,

And the sea keeps its counsel vast.

From foam and storm, a child was made,

A son of gods, by mortals betrayed.

Verse I (Lute and drum, slow 6/8)

From tempest’s womb and thunder’s cry,

A boy was born beneath the sky.

His blood of man, his heart of sea,

Bound by fate’s solemn decree.

He walked where mortals dared not tread,

Through halls of gods, through realms of dread.

And though the Fates their threads did spin,

The tide obeyed the will within.

Refrain (Choral — in harmony)

Hail, O sea-born son,

Of moon and sun,

The storm shall bow before thee.

Through wave and flame,

They speak thy name —

Forever shall the sea adore thee.
