The Siren's Call lyrics

Tie me up against the mast and shield the sunlight from my eyes

For I no longer can resist the haunting of her cries

They call me from the jagged rock

It was the sweetest melody

Like gold and honey dripping from the fingertips of God

I feel the wind against my face from the flapping of her wings

I feel the black and silky tenderness all choking me

But I can almost taste happiness

It's such a long way off

But I can almost feel your embrace

Above the siren's call

Now it's not beautiful or pure

But it exists beyond the shore

It struggles to be heard above the screeching of her call

Beneath my feet a rumbling

A hundred demons clambering

They chase away my harmony and make love afraid to call

They grow forever restless and as our ship sets out to sea no

They will not be silenced

Never for you or me

But I can almost taste happiness

It's such a long way off

But I can almost feel your embrace

Above the siren's call

And I've seen a hint of it

This happiness

This bliss

Just knowing it exists I know that I must try

And I've caught a glimpse of it

One moment just one kiss

From the corner of my eye

Of better days gone by

But I can almost taste happiness

But I can almost feel your embrace
