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.

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.

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
