Oh sailor, what lilting music<\/span><\/p>\n

Hast enthralled thy heart?<\/span><\/p>\n

The siren\u2019s song, it beckons<\/span><\/p>\n

Beckons from the start<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Calling from a rocky shoal<\/span><\/p>\n

And to the watery grave<\/span><\/p>\n

Lost souls floundering in the murky depths<\/span><\/p>\n

Past the point where none can save<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A ghoulish grinning face<\/span><\/p>\n

That lilting song beguile<\/span><\/p>\n

Luring me to the roiling waves<\/span><\/p>\n

With that deceptive smile<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A mighty ship in an angry sea<\/span><\/p>\n

Boiling, tossing, churning<\/span><\/p>\n

Racing towards the black rocks<\/span><\/p>\n

Towards those eyes burning<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And out of the mouth so foul<\/span><\/p>\n

Came the most beautiful song<\/span><\/p>\n

A song of love and tragedy<\/span><\/p>\n

A song of where I belong<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The song, haunting<\/span><\/p>\n

A tale (my tale) of lost glory<\/span><\/p>\n

Of what never happened<\/span><\/p>\n

A new end to the story<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gazing into those blazing eyes<\/span><\/p>\n

And I, tied to the mast<\/span><\/p>\n

Dreaming of what could be<\/span><\/p>\n

Entranced by this dream of last<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw a lonely maiden,<\/span><\/p>\n

She who called my name<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Ulysses, Ulysses\u2019 she beckoned me<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018What hast thou for shame?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Her voice a lilting melody,<\/span><\/p>\n

And a flutter in her breath;<\/span><\/p>\n

Drawn was I,<\/span><\/p>\n

To the lovely face of Death<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This forsaken maiden fair<\/span><\/p>\n

Hast enthralled my heart<\/span><\/p>\n

Capturing my every thought<\/span><\/p>\n
