Their beautiful, alluring voices resonate
All the way from Brooklyn to Albany, upstate
Never before, was a finer symphony heard
By such glorious creatures;
Half woman, half bird
Like raving zombies, the masses draw closer
Moving as one, like a turbocharged dozer
Enthralled and bedazzled, they climb each floor
At the top of the staircase;
They crash through the door
Any resistence has now become futile
Their fate is sealed, and the endgame is brutal
One by one, off the rooftop they leap
The sirens ecstatic;
Proud of their feat
