Siren's Song

Hail ye men who've traveled so far
Come rest with me here
And I'll sing you a song
For the breeze is so cold
But my body so warm
Am I not fair?
Can you say it's not so?

I've pale star-kissed skin
Raven hair black as pitch
The most delicate poise
That you ever did see
Though pink and bright
There is death on my lips
Though I smile as sweet
As a wee infant child

Set sail for my island
Safe haven, sweet home
Come to me, darling
My soul aches and burns
Wrap me in your arms
And I'll be your one love
Forever t'will be
And not one day less

Steer straight and true
Do not glance to the shore
Where the waves crash and spray
And the sea kicks up foam
When the prow hits the crags
Man and vessel will crack
And I'll laugh as I bury you
Under the waves
