the siren and the sailor

He sails along the open seas

She lingers beneath the waters

Her sultry voice calls to him

Luring him into her waters

He's a sweet man

That's what she finds most enticing

She sings her song of heaven

Until he travels within her reach

Then her song changes from heaven to death

He doesn't realize it

He's captivated

He thinks she's perfect and harmless

Her intentions, however, aren't so pure

She doesn't mean to

She's lonely

But she can't resist the hunger for his soul
