SIREN - Stranger

Beg, borrow, and steal

Take a hold of the wheel

Take me to that horizon

Leave the harbour behind

I must be out of my mind

Give me your blessing Poseidon

It’s just a question of when

I’ll take possession, and then

You’ll all come crawling to me

(Please! Just give us some money)

I finally found me a way

They’ll say that I went astray

But when they see me return…

Wait, and you’ll see

Just what I’m about to be

My kingdom for the taking

Waves crash on me

But do nothing for I believe

From that dream I’ll b waking

You said I’ll never be?

All that you want of m

Born in the gutter

A product of malady

Made in the city streets

Moulded by grinding heat

All that I ever learned

Kicked and lashed into me

I can remember then

There was a moment when

I thought I’d end it all

Never see the light again

On the beach a body cold

Beckoning the light of gold

Torn old rag and guidance in words of old

I asked for your help

And left with bruises and welts, cursing…

Wait, and you’ll see!

Just what I’m about to be

My kingdom for the taking

Waves break on me

But do nothing for I believe

From that dream I’ll be waking

Land draws closer yet

Shapes rise up below

That sound…

That warm liquer

It tingles down my spine

It’s calling me to

(«Come look over the edge»)

That face, That goddess in water

What is it my love?

You’ve been searching for me?

One step is all it takes

And then you will be mine

We’ll be together

Listen, I would like to lay down next to you

But the stories tell me I should run away

I just need to stop, and try to get it through my mind your innocent

But I’m the prey

Running on the edge of this insanity

Living in the moment just to stay alive

I would give it up for you

If I thought I had a chance of surviving till the sunrise

Take me to the darkness down below

Sand and sea

There was always meant to be, a wedding in the waves

(Luminescent skin)

For the song you sing, I will be a harmony

A final resting place

(Sinking deep within)

In eyes that glitter like gold

No!

Let me go!

Release your hold!

Siren song ice cold!

Sadly all that came out was a melody

Jaws that bled the life right from his drowning veins

One more slaughtered lamb who strayed

Too far for green pastures

And offered up his neck for the blade
