Sirens

Silently calling

I hear myself speak

My breath is in my hands

I cry out your name

Silently calling

I feel so at peace

And the time to surrender

Is the time you will take hold of me

What did you do when you woke today

What did you feel, were you sad or afraid

Searching your thoughts

for reasons or meanings

And the choices you made

Silently calling

In a field of dreams

Where memories fade

They keep passing through

this soulless maze

What did you do when you woke today

What did you feel, were you sad or afraid

Searching your thoughts for hope or relief

Looking for safety in the falling leaves

Splinters of virtue

From splintering hearts

The door is always closed

As it was from the start

Masters of freedom

Masters of light

Will you ever let me go

Take away this second sight

What did you do when you woke today

What did you feel, were you sad or afraid

Searching your thoughts

for warnings and traps

Nothing in your life will be the same!

Hanging to the sail

Caught behind the storm

Wait for the waves to come

Know the fear

Hide behind your smile

Crying for mercy

Hanging to the mast

Caught behind the storm

Wait for the sea to foam

Climb....Climb....Climb up to me

Hanging to the sail

Far beyond the storm

Lightning across the sky

Catch the rope

Cling to hope

Watch as our lives flash by

Hanging to the mast

Beyond the storm

Saltwater burning

Shield your face from whiplash sprays

Hold your breath and

Neptune will make his next move

Hanging to the rail

Caught within the storm

Watch for the jagged land

Follow a line

From another time

Washed up on stone and sand

Grab the mast

Caught within the storm

Reach for a helping hand

We could share this calm experience now

In shadows I can see the light

I whisper your name

But it's lost in the night

Watching reflections of my own solitude

Heartfelt indifference

towards actions and truths

In shadows I can see light

I whisper your name

In the night

Spare me from those sirens' lies

Spare me from this grand illusion

Spare me from those weeping eyes

And promises of absolution

Shall I stand without defense

Now that death is all around me

Did you hope for my surrender

Leaving me to die on the

bloodstained ground

It's only a lifetime

Where heroes need heroic deeds

It's only a lifetime

Where children dream of breaking free

Follow the cause

Follow the signs

Drawn by a song to our own demise

It's only a lifetime

Dragged across the rocks by the sirens' whisper!
