SIRENS

I am doomed

Doomed to hear

Voices other people fear

I am doomed

From above

Some god has doomed me to love

Tie me tightly

Honey toned sirens are beckoning

Almost nightly they sing

Come near come near

Lovelier music you’ll never hear

To you alone

We call to grace our meadow of bone

I have lived

I have died

Now that I’ve heard them my soul has cried

I have dreams

Dreams of pain

Knowing I’ll hear them again

Tightly bind me

Sirens of sorrow and suffering

Always find me and sing

Come near come near

Lovelier music you’ll never hear

To you alone

We call to grace our meadow of bone
