Like sailors, to the siren's song
or moths to candle flame
She speaks, and I am swiftly drawn
within her web of carnal claim

Near certain of the coming course,
too frail to change my fate
Propelled, as if by unseen force -
I make all speed towards her embrace

Listen to the lullaby
of lilting angel's voice
Smashed on rocks in whirlpool's eye
despite my sense, I've made my choice

A single, glowing point of light
with heat like noonday sun
Feelers singed, now blazing bright
a burning kiss, and I succumb

As tongues of fire lick my heart
emotion rules my head
witness dangerous pleasures that start
on paths of moths and Men
