Once there was a song to a siren and the ocean was in it
The notes were water and the waves moved obscure
Those who heard it shivered because of the wind
That weaved around the words and was breathed to the sea

The sound was left for the years to dissolve
And in cities full of air there were strange relations
To the colliding two it was ache and fire
Through the streets it followed and nested in a cove

The looming demise has long since been reached
Sounds remain out of time in a mystical land
In every childhood story with a prince by the sea
Shuts his eyes and enters a dream

He follows as he goes he is saddened and pure
For his love is answered in such a strange voice
The hands that he seeks belong to her off shore
For a touch on his chest bruises his core
