Keep lying to yourself
Keep trying to be something you are not
I'm not buying this act of yours
You're prying into my infamy
You'll never be me
You'll never be free from me
You'll never be me
You'll never be free of me
I am the prophecy
I am the prodigy
I am your sanctity
I am your fantasy X2
I'm defying mythology
Your crying won't spare your soul
I'm belying your misconceptions
I'm relying on impulsivity
You'll never be me
You'll never be free from me
You'll never be me
You'll never be free of me
I am the prophecy
I am the prodigy
I am your fantasy
I am the Siren! X2

So sit with me, my little ones thee round the fire then we'll flee.
“You'll stray no more, on Sirenian Shores”, those Mermaids lied to me.
As I was walkin' alone one morn the sunshine fell on me
My eyes they caught a glimpse of light and along shores they be
I guessed my luck had not run out from the night of gambling see
For I heard a Sirens tune afloat along that placid sheen
Now sit with me, my little ones thee round the fire then we'll flee
“You'll stray no more, on Sirenian Shores”, those Mermaids sang to me.
With a “whoop!” and “Ahoy!” I told my boys of the treasure I did spy
They snickered and scoffed and said “Be off!” but I didn't tell a lie
I had seen a girl with a string of pearls in her flaxen hair and eye
A precious doe from great below but and she sang with tear and sigh
So come with me, my little ones thee round the fire then we'll flee
“You stray no more, on Sirenian Shores, those Mermaids sang to me.
With that I dove in the lovely cove and when I opened my eyes I see
A world of wonder lustful blunder of the Merfolk well indeed
Of the treasures I took, come here take a look, this one it spoke to me
A mermaids ring, glittery thing singing sapphires of two and three
So listen to me, my little ones three round the fire then we'll flee
“You'll stare no more, on Sirenian Shores, those Mermaids.... they warned me
My work cut short I felt a torque and was siezed around my knee
I breathed no air then I looked up “There!” through the darkened depths I see
I kicked and glucked but alas, no luck then resigned to the depths of the sea
In all despair I didn't care, for the Mermaids they'd taken me
So come to me, my little ones three round the fire and we'll flee
“You'll breath no more, on Sirenian Shores, those Mermaids captured me
(Double Break)
Then out of the dark I woke like a shark and finally kicked them free
I swam to the seals with their nails on my heels as I bolted from the sea
To the air I pray “On the shore I'll stay!” abide to them I see
I'm here with you the, sing the melody of the Mermaids Reverie!
Now upon my knee, my little ones thee round the fire our minds flee
“I'll wander no more on Sirenian Shores... Oh the Mermaids lie to me.

The Dark Lady
04:50
|
|||
A fierce one-eyed man named Baron LaBonne
A meaner pirate had never been known
And he sailed on the Dark Lady
A ship strong and sound with a perilous crew
And high on the mast the skull and bones flew
Fleet and swift was the Dark Lady
And every night the Baron would drink a toast
He'd say, "Here's to my lovely lady host!
My one true love."
"Hear, hear!" the crew replied
And the Dark Lady sighed.
A rich Spanish galleon was spotted one night
The Dark Lady's crew prepared for the fight
Clash of swords.... No Spaniards survived it.
Except for the maiden with dark eyes so bold
Found in the hull with the jewels and the gold
LaBonne laughed and took her for ransom.
And every night the Baron would drink a toast
He'd say, "Here's to our lovely lady host!
My one true love."
"Hear, hear!" the crew replied
And the Dark Lady sighed.
The girl Carlotta was a beauty quite rare
With each passing night LaBonne couldn't bear
His empty bed. He brought her to it.
The Baron soon found he felt more than desire
His love for her grew and his soul filled with fire
He proclaimed that they would marry.
That night the Baron drank with jubilee.
He said "Here's to my lovely bride to be!
My one true love.."
"Hear, hear !" the crew replied,
And the Dark Lady cried.
The following night a storm brewed at sea
The Dark Lady saw her chance to be free
Of her rival, the beauty Carlotta.
The ship steered herself to the heart of the gale
Where a wave swept the maiden out over the rail
Sweet revenge on an unfaithful lover.
That night the Lady drank a toast.
She said, "Here's to your lovely lady host!
Your one true love.."
No voices replied
And the Dark Lady smiled.

The Suicidal Star Born

We are the suicidal star born
We are the creatures of the myth
We are the suicidal star born
You clip our wings for you fear us X2
I remember all your light
And the way you used to shine
I remember all your promises
It makes the pain much more real
I remember what you said
When you told me I wasn’t real
Locked inside your illusion
Bound by insanity
When the heartache ends
And the love begins
I’ll be waiting for your life to end X2
I remember how you criticized me
I did not fit into your mold
How can you bind the free spirit
The death of the phoenix is temporary
I do not make
I create
I come from the light of the dream
To captivate a creature changed
You destroy what could destroy you
When the heartache ends
And the love begins
I’ll be waiting for your life to end X2
From the rush of the river
To the roar of the rain
I have come here now to ease your pain X 4
When the heartache ends
And the love begins
I’ll be waiting for your life to end X2
