|
Down by the sounding sea |
|
Drawn to the lure of a siren's melody |
|
to the tempting sweeping of the waves |
|
to the calling of a mellow grave |
|
Yon all wonder and yon all dreams |
|
Can't strive against giving in |
|
And she siren angelique |
|
invoke my endless sleep |
|
Come with me into the deep |
|
I'll lead you on through the seas of infinite sleep |
|
I stand upon the sweeping shore |
|
A frozen heart won't thrive no more |
|
A velvet voice is calling me |
|
yon this scornful deep blue sea |
|
Take my hand, I'll follow thee |
|
into the sombre placid deep |
|
Beyond the waves and far beneath |
|
where I can rest, forever free |
|
I'm going under |
|
In writhes I'm going down |
|
in a lunar sea on the siren's night |
|
Beneath the surface |
|
I choke...tenderly drown |
|
and a thousand scornful sirens come around |
|
Fear the sounding sea |
|
Don't give in like me... |
