The sea rages with waves,
The sky claps its reproach,
The wind screams its anger.
The ship rocks and sways,
As the waves carry it away,
Terror reigns.
In the dark mists of the sheet rain,
Her deadly song arises from the deep,
To pierce the ears of all who would hear.
The ship rocks and sways,
As the waves carry it away,
Terror reigns.
The waves crash and the men dash,
Her song grows to catch their ears,
To bring them down like the weather dear.
The ship no longer rocks,
The ship no longer sways,
It crashes into a million pieces.
She grabs his hand with her voice,
He no longer has a choice,
But to follow into her rasping grip.
The ship no longer rocks,
The ship no longer sways,
It crashes into a million pieces.
His mind is lost and his heart is fixed,
Her song has stayed and her hands have garnered,
Together with the wind and rains.
The storm rolls on,
The Siren sings,
The Sailor never leaves.
