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
