Siren's Song

My seductress, my siren Sings her song tonight Its sweet and sharp melody Beckons me I resist her call Tying myself to the mast Not to be released Regardless of my cries Tonight, the knots are not tight Her cold notes whisper in my ear All logic fails, intoxicated by her call I know my fate, but every muscle Strains against the rope Heart pounding with the need To join her in the deadly water Crying out in agony The knot slips The rope fails Tumbling toward the edge Looking in to the steel water Her song cuts deeper and deeper Washing away all reason I lean closer Seduced by her call A cold temptation seeping Toward the heart I lean closer Come to me There is no turning back Closer Her words an icy breath Come to me Her hands reach Closer Her touch sharp against my skin Come to me She presses deeper Closer I break Unable to resist I break Throwing myself overboard Her cold existence Mixing with my warm blood Deep red life escapes Sweet relief Her edge presses onward I let myself go Taken over by her song The world disappears Lost in her touch Cold and sharp against my pale skin Time halts Minutes are years Lost in her touch She releases her grasp I awake from my stupor But it is too late I have gone too far this time She brought me to the darkness Beneath the powerful sea I cannot go back I have gone too far this time Tonight, the knots slipped Tonight, the blade won
