Helen shall I dash my hopes upon your rocks Sacrifice my ship to sinking sirens song Chase your willowisp into the dark swamps deadly mist? Sultry siren sing to me And bring me Towards the jagged expectations of your ever changing shores I shall sink myself uponΒ the shark filled shoals Where sailors seek salvation And find their high hopes drowned To fall into the endless dark Where skeletons enthroned All wear the coral crown
Oh Helen I shall send a fleet with high flags flying And chance your shifting sands I shall risk the rocks and waves the highs and lows of your desire I shall steer my ship towards heaven And hope to reach it's shores
