The fisherman seals a deal with the witches, giving up his soul to live with his beloved mermaid. At one condition, every year the fisherman has to face his shadow, in this meeting he will be told about what the soul has seen around the world, without falling in temptation.

Lyrics
(The Red Witch)
Come, come to me / join me in/ sing and dance 'neath the stars
cry out your grief / to the old gods / the ones who feast
with mortal desires / then wait for the dusk / to dye red / the crest of your waves then cut from your back / your shadow away
(The Fisherman's Soul)
Our bond is yet gone / alone - incomplete / my shelter's undone
but the prophecy's clear / winters will pass / and I shall return
holding gifts unseen
(The Red Witch)
To unlock wishes/ sealed far away
foolish mortals will always have
my price to pay / carry on / this path you're on
will rot your flesh to decay / heart blinded he's falling deep
(the) mistress of all has your fate / forever to lay with
(The Fisherman)
I enter thy kingdom / one with the sea / my heart's pounding
with rise of the tide / as vow of love eternal
to my sunken bride
(The Fisherman's Soul)
Just as I told / I've returned
eternal wisdom from the east / a precious more than everything
from distant south / I bring to thee
but there are things / you'll never reach
a dancing goddess / you'll never see
her elegance flows / like falling snow
in the shape / on her naked feet
(The Fisherman)
There's no need of soul in a loving heart
higher than wisdom love proudly stands
higher than precious / love victorious rests
for true love will conquer all
(The Fisherman)
I enter thy kingdom / one with the sea / my heart's pounding
with rise of the tide / as vow of love eternal
to my sunken bride
