First Son of the Sea

Born where the light bends blue and slow

Fish-Man Island, pressure taught me what I owe

Sun on our backs, scars like names

We carried history without saying blame

I watched the surface fear our face

Watched my people boxed in place

So I learned restraint before force

How to guide a storm without breaking its course

Every oath I made was heavy as stone

Every wave reminded me I'm not alone

The sea remembers what we choose to be

And it taught that lesson patiently

They call me First Son of the Sea

I don't rush the tide, I let it learn

They call me First Son of the Sea

They call me First Son of the Sea

They crowned me power, dressed it up as peace

Sat me at the table, told me silence keeps the beast

But titles test what you're willing to bend

And I won't sell tomorrow to pretend

They called me First Son of the Sea

Like blood alone decides what's free

I took the name, not the chain

Kept my honor dry in the rain

I walked away from borrowed might

Chose the deep over hollow height

If I must answer, let it be

To the waves that shaped me patiently

They call me First Son of the Sea, I move with the tide

I don't chase the loud— I let the truth decide

When the ocean turns angry, I turn calm instead

Flow in my blood, duty in my head

First Son of the Sea hear the current agree

"What's meant to be free… will be free, will be free"

Then came a boy with a reckless stare

Dream too big for the world to bear

He ran through fire, fists still raised

Tried to steal a life back from fate

He failed, and still refused to fall

That kind of will shook me more than all

When cannons sang and the sky broke red

I felt the sea pull at the dead

I dove where hope was hard to find

Carried him out through smoke and tide

Not because he won, but because he tried
