The Siren's Song


  • Something's about to go wrong.
  • I can hear the siren's song.
  • My mind tells me I must stay strong.
  • But all I hear is the siren's song.
  •  
  • Her voice so delicate, her presence so pure
  • Yet there is no refuge and no such cure.
  • Her voice so deceitful, her only desire is sin.
  • Escape before your demise starts to begin.
  •  
  • All I can think about is the siren's song.
  • How beautiful it is but how I must stay strong.
  • Is there any way to escape the siren's song?
  • At this rate I won't be able to last very long.
  •  
  • Look, I'm not confident I can withstand her lust.
  • But her voice like caramel, and her eyes I trust.
  • I know she has a tendency to take lives but I don't care.
  • Please, turn around and don't go back don't you dare.
  •  
  • Stop I can hear the siren's song.
  • I feel it's where I belong.
  • Is it really the siren's song?
  • I guess it's time to sing along.
