[Verse 1: Malukah]
"Beware, beware the Daughter of the Sea."
"Beware," I heard him cry
His words carried upon the ocean breeze
As he sank beneath the tide

[Verse 2: Malukah]
Those blood-soaked shores of Kalimdor
Where sailors fought and died
The Admiral fell at Theramore
Because she left his side

[Chorus: Choir]
Why this? Why this, oh Daughter of the Sea?
Why this? Did you forget your seaside days?
Always the pride of our nation's eyes
How could she go astray?

[Verse 3:]
When she did flee across the ocean deep
The Admiral followed west
What else but sail to save a daughter's life
And pray she still drew breath?

[Chorus: Choir]
Why this? Why this, oh Daughter of the Sea?
Why this? Did you forget your seaside days?
Always the pride of our nation's eyes
How could she go astray?
[Verse 5: Malukah]
But there he found upon those distant shores
Enemies 'pon the rise!
But when he faced those savage foes
His daughter stood aside

[Bridge: Choir]
And buried deep beneath the waves
Betrayed by family
To his nation, with his last breath, cried
"Beware the Daughter of the Sea."

[Chorus:]
Why this? Why this, oh Daughter of the Sea?
Why this? Did you forget your seaside days?
Always the pride of our nation's eyes
How could she go astray?

[Outro: Malukah]
I heard, I heard, across a moonlit sea
The old voice warning me
"Beware, beware the Daughter of the Sea"
"Beware, beware..."
...of me
