Daughter of the Tides

(Verse I)
Born where the gray waves shatter the stone,
Daughter of tides and a house of the throne,
Silver-bright banners and salt in the air,
A father of iron, a mother of prayer.

Yet while the warships carved through the foam,
Her heart chased stars far away from her home,
Books over blades, arcane over crown,
She traded the sea for Dalaran town.

(Pre-Chorus)
There in the spires of violet light,
She learned how to bend day into night,
Frost at her fingertips, storms in her breath,
A girl taught to master the language of death.

(Chorus)
Sing of the daughter the oceans betrayed,
Bearer of sorrow, of tempest and blade,
Hope was her banner, peace was her plea,
Jaina, the child of the unquiet sea.

(Verse II)
Golden prince with a fire in his eyes,
Swore her his love beneath northern skies,
But shadows grew long on the path that he trod,
He chose crown of ashes, she mercy of God.

When plague filled the land and reason was slain,
She turned from his darkness, from blood and from pain,
Westward she sailed on a prophet’s command,
To save what was left of a dying land.

(Pre-Chorus)
Among ancient forests and red desert flame,
She stood with the Horde though they once were her bane,
Humans and orcs in a fragile accord,
Together they shattered the Legion’s dark lord.

(Chorus)
Sing of the mage who refused ancient hate,
Who stood between vengeance and terrible fate,
Hope was her banner, peace was her plea,
Jaina, the child of the unquiet sea.

(Verse III)
But thunder returned on familiar sails,
War drums awakened old blood-soaked tales,
Her father had come with iron decree,
“No peace with the monsters who slaughtered our kin and our sea.”

Blade against daughter, command against heart,
She watched as her world was torn apart,
To spare countless lives she let one be lost,
And paid for that mercy with infinite cost.

(Bridge)
Salt on her lashes, steel in her veins,
A crown made of memory, guilt, and of chains.

(Verse IV)
She built her new home where warm waters gleam,
A city of hope, a diplomat’s dream,
Years she defended the fragile accord,
While hatred kept sharpening quietly its sword.

Then fire fell brighter than suns in the sky,
A bomb forged of magic that made daylight die,
Stone turned to cinders, friends turned to flame,
Nothing but silence remembered her name.

(Pre-Chorus)
Grief like a tempest tore open her soul,
Vengeance rose up like an unstoppable shoal,
She could have drowned cities, ended it all,
But mercy — still bleeding — refused to fall.

(Chorus)
Sing of the storm that broke on the shore,
Of ashes where laughter had lived once before,
Hope was in tatters, rage was the sea,
Jaina, the child of calamity.

(Verse V)
In violet halls she banished her foes,
Frost in her gaze like winter’s first snows,
Trust turned to iron, compassion to stone,
A queen without country, a mage all alone.

When demons returned and the world burned anew,
They begged for her aid — she already knew:
Peace without justice was fragile as glass,
So into the mist she let herself pass.

(Verse VI)
Homeward at last to the kingdom she fled,
Only to face every ghost of her dead,
Mother’s cold judgment, a traitor’s disgrace,
Exiled again from her birthplace.

Bound by her memories, forced to relive
Every regret she could never outlive,
Yet through the darkness her courage replied,
She rose from the depths where her old self had died.

(Pre-Chorus)
Fleet-breaker, sea-caller, storm made flesh,
She claimed her true name in the thunder’s crash.

(Final Chorus)
Sing of the daughter who mastered the tide,
Who faced every storm and still did not hide,
Power and sorrow forever agree,
Jaina, Lord Admiral, keeper of sea.

Hope reborn stronger than steel could decree,
Not just a weapon, but who she would be,
Frostfire and courage, unbowed and free,
Jaina, the child of eternity.

(Outro)
So when cold winds carry a whispering plea,
Listen for waves on a far-off sea,
For somewhere she stands where the storm clouds start,
A mage with the ocean inside her heart.
