The Masked Siren

Searching for love is a mystery in disguise 

Unrecognizable and sneaky through the night

A man in search of a journey at sea 

Must be aware of the magic he might see 

 

A sailor at sea is what I want

I sing and wait for the idiot human that will come

 

He is lost at sea 

In the search for me 

But Oh idiot human 

Haven’t you forgot the role I play in this game

I'm the queen of the sea 

I know the oceans like the back of my scales

You've taken my waves to a death express lane

 

When he finds me he’ll know...

The wind will shift

And the waves will be calm

And the silence will be loud enough 

 

When he sees me I’ll be hiding behind an alluring mask 

That is held tightly between my true face of evil.

It's blinding to his eyes

 

His faith gets weaker and my hunger grows stronger 

The sweet perfume of fresh human flesh approaches my way

Oh how I love to feed off his aching pain 

Knowing that me luring him in is all just a game 

But he can't resist no matter how much he looks the other way

 

He is a blind man at sea 

Submitted to my every word

Listen to my voice

Watch me mesmerize you to come closer 

 

How a man means a symbol of death to me

I dare to lick my lips and sink my teeth 

Into my idiot human that wished to find me 

 

But… before you part ways with your soul and flesh Mr. sailor man 

You only die once 

So let your death be mine... I mean

the pleasure be mine for us to have finally met

And never again
