Tale of The Shadow Song

Sail North

  I set upon the sea
To search for phantom sails from tales my mum told me
A ghostly galleon filled with gold, she sails alone
No crew, nor captain's guiding hand

Sun and horizon met

I weighed the anchor, hoisted sails, my course was set
My cutthroat crew conspiring with the stars our guide
They point the way through perils fraught
And lead us to the one they call The Shadow

The genre of sea shanty (also referred to as shanty, chantey or chanty) is a genre of music within the genre of traditional folk music. This kind of musics are not necessarily song which were released years ago, but ones that feel as if they were. They usually have a bit of a fairy tale vibe to it, as if they were sung as a work song aboard a large merchant sailing vessel. The songs are accompanied by a rythm to help oen coordinate tasks.

It probably fits best with the Hybrid league, specifically the Human/Atlantean Hybrids - who might have heard songs similar to this as being sung across the oceans as they were enjoying their own life within the ocean.
