A maiden sits upon a rock staring onto shore

There she lays her tender eyes upon an angel so sweet

She longs for him as she was no more

Than a Siren of the sea and had no feet

She desires him more and more everyday

Until one day he came her way



A siren's song is to hypnotize poor sailors and men

Into their doom and she knew it too

For everyone knows that death is upon them when

They see this omen of life withdrew

And her song like poison will stir men's hearts

For that is one of the Siren's bitter parts



As day after day passes her desire burns hot

She wants that man heedless of the danger

That she will put him through. For her soul would rot

If she could not have this handsome land stranger

Her fury grew as she sang her cursed melody

So he was enchanted and walked slowly into the sea



He was blinded by her song and her radiant beauty

As she called him forward to her greedy clutches

He smelled no death or blood, but the fruity

Scent of bliss as she reached and touches

His face so perfect and leaned in to kiss him

Estacy filled them both but still his fate is grim



She wants him more and leads him on

To the deeper parts of ominous blue

The man lusted the Siren as her spell had drawn

Him to her with her devine beauty so true

That he became nothing more than a slave

To her powers and followed her to his watery grave
