Siren Song

My entire life I’ve sailed this sea
Riding the swells
I’ve fought the waves without fail till now
But suddenly into oblivion I’m drawn
By something…
I hear a melody riding the wind
And its call beckons to me
Like a siren’s song
It’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard
I’ll follow it to the ends of the earth
Whither it leads me;
To the shore it commands while mist and fog
Roll away from the sun
I can see the rocks as plain as day
With warnings of danger and death and doom
But all alarms are useless now
My ship will be smashed and crash into ruin
As I yield my life to the sound of her voice
My grand demise because of beauty so fair
But I don’t care
