Sirens

Here come the sirens
Charming and sweet
Saying: I got I got I got everything you need
Hungry as lions, primed for the feast
Beauty at times is just a side of the beast
Beauty at times is just a lie
Voices of culture
Charming and sweet
Saying: I got I got I got something good to eat
Gather as vultures
Ready to feed
And before you know you’re being swallowed up by greed
Before you know you’re being swallowed

Don’t get their song stuck in your head
Don’t let them lure you into bed
Don’t heed the song of the sirens or you’re gonna wind up dead
They’re just devils in disguise
Hell’s sick mirage of paradise
Don’t lift your eyes to the sirens one look could take your life

Can you feel them?
Breathing down upon your neck
Their shadows fall upon the deck
Like fantasies that haven’t yet turned into nightmares
I know their way seems so sublime
I know their rivers run with wine
But in the end you’re gonna find there is no light there
Oh they’re breathing down upon your neck
Their shadows fall upon the deck
Like fantasies that haven’t yet turned into nightmares
I know their way seems so sublime
I know their poison tastes like wine
But in the end you’re gonna find it’s all a lie

Be not betrayed by their cries lest you be dragged to the depths
Don’t let them feed you a lie
Don’t let them feed on your flesh
