In English folklore an Asrai is a type of aquatic fairy, similar in some ways to mermaids, nixies, selkies, sirens or morgens. Some sources describe them as timid and shy, standing only between two and four feet tall, while others depict them as tall and lithe. They are said to look like beautiful young maidens, sometimes as young as children, while actually being hundreds of years old. They may have webbed hands and feet, resembling some descriptions of selkies.
If an Asrai is seen by a man, her beauty is so great that, according to folklore, the man will instantly wish to capture her. The Asrai are as deathly afraid of capture as they are of the sun, because if captured or if a single ray of sunlight touches them, it is said that they die and turn into a pool of water. They are, however, said to enjoy bathing in the moonlight. Other sources claim they use the moonlight as food.
The tale told of one fisherman who caught an Asrai claims that the touch of her skin was so cold, that where the Asrai touched his arm while pleading for her freedom—and her life—the flesh has never been warm since.

Sitio web http://asrai2.homestead.com/ Tower - Torre Ella a conocido lo desconocido de su interior Mirando en el espejo Ella vio detras de su rostro ¿Cómo puede ella olvidar? Cuando observa su rostro Ella no puede recordar dónde salió mal Mirando el espejo Es el rostro en la pared Gritando por estas preguntas Pero ella ya lo sabía todo El silencio marca el tiempo ¿Qué está pasando? No sabre Y se alejó Y se alejó Un silencio por la tormenta He perdido tu cara en la multitud Pensé que eso es lo que querías Pero el miedo me sigue gritando Se disculpó por su abuso Ella cree que su cuerpo es sólo para un uso Encerrado en una torre Vidrios rotos en el interior Ella apretó sus labios en la pared Ella gritaba Pero nadie quieria oír Pero nadie quiere oír Es un extraño para sí misma Es un ex...
Buried her head in her hands
(Delilah, you liar)
Buried the sun with the mysteries within
(She craves the sin)
She played her perfection
The lie was waiting to be
The words left unspoken
Now you will see…
Her lips are sealed
And dead in a kiss
The promises, she made and touched her lips
Sleep through the fear, through the din
(Go to sleep my little one)
Blood on my lips from the dagger that I kissed
(Kiss the pain away)
Now death I have tasted
Though I had sensed your treason
Your virtues lay wasted
So it will be…
Her lips are sealed
And dead in a kiss
The promises, she made and touched her lips
Burn in her fire with your passion within
Go to sleep my little sin
