Sirens

On a haunting night mystic moon in flight
Over trouble seas the first of fall a cold wind comes
And fills my soul with fear
Phantom figures float the darkest ghost circles overhead
Cast an evil spell voices shriek and wail human flesh the seek

And as the ship sails on across the ancient sea
High above the mast a vision dark yet sweet

On this stormy night vengeful waves grow high
As the sirens strike men with nerves of steel
Turn white and pale with feet of clay
In the haunted air voices call us near with a tempting song
Into an eerie fog before a shore of bone oh our darkest dream

And as the ship sails on across the ancient sea
High above the mast a vision dark yet sweet
An albatross has died and lays upon the deck
Dark beauties watch then start their final descent

And as the ship sails on across the ancient sea
High above the mast the vision of the day
The albatross which died still lays upon the deck
Only the rats remain to sail the sea alone
