Down by an endless ocean, sitting on jagged rocks
Creatures entice with emotion, they sing but never talk
A lamenting in devotion, while Demeter cries and mocks
I cry out, “From my arms, away from me!
“Hell has stolen my Persephone!”
That’s not true, dear, I’m not yours to keep
So, please, you don’t need to weep
Creatures entice with emotion, they sing but never talk
A lamenting in devotion, while Demeter cries and mocks
I cry out, “From my arms, away from me!
“Hell has stolen my Persephone!”
That’s not true, dear, I’m not yours to keep
So, please, you don’t need to weep
Some myths claim that rather than seducing sailors with their voices, the sirens sang to mourn the kidnapping of Persephone, their beloved friend, and call out for her return.
