Drowned in seas of melancholy Millstone tied around your neck Sinking ever deeper 'til all you see is black All hope now has dissipated Vanished, like the air You drink deep of the ocean, swallowed in despair Come deeper still! You have lost yourself, and you will never find it again, my friend All sight has gone, all you know is slipping away today Death has come for you! Trapped in chains of siren's whisper Struggling to become free Your limbs are bound and the siren laughs with glee As the storm departed, we knew we had been blown off course. Our hearts sank at what we saw before us - the island of the sirens. And though we would rush to fill our ears with wax, though I would tie my hands to the wheel, we knew all hope was lost. Oh treacherous daughters of Achelous, how I wish you would still your song! Heartless witches of the seas, your jagged cliffs have pierced my flesh, your island claimed one more. Arrogance has done your soul in Sailed too close to sirens' shore Like a wilted flower torn up by dogs of war
