Sirens

Silently calling
I hear myself speak
My breath is in my hands
I cry out your name
Silently calling
I feel so at peace
And the time to surrender
Is the time you will take hold of me
What did you do when you woke today
What did you feel, were you sad or afraid
Searching your thoughts
for reasons or meanings
And the choices you made

Silently calling
In a field of dreams
Where memories fade
They keep passing through
this soulless maze

What did you do when you woke today
What did you feel, were you sad or afraid
Searching your thoughts for hope or relief
Looking for safety in the falling leaves

Splinters of virtue
From splintering hearts
The door is always closed
As it was from the start
Masters of freedom
Masters of light
Will you ever let me go
Take away this second sight

What did you do when you woke today
What did you feel, were you sad or afraid
Searching your thoughts
for warnings and traps
Nothing in your life will be the same!

Hanging to the sail
Caught behind the storm
Wait for the waves to come
Know the fear
Hide behind your smile
Crying for mercy
Hanging to the mast
Caught behind the storm
Wait for the sea to foam
Climb....Climb....Climb up to me

Hanging to the sail
Far beyond the storm
Lightning across the sky
Catch the rope
Cling to hope
Watch as our lives flash by
Hanging to the mast
Beyond the storm
Saltwater burning
Shield your face from whiplash sprays
Hold your breath and
Neptune will make his next move

Hanging to the rail
Caught within the storm
Watch for the jagged land
Follow a line
From another time
Washed up on stone and sand
Grab the mast
Caught within the storm
Reach for a helping hand
We could share this calm experience now

In shadows I can see the light
I whisper your name
But it's lost in the night
Watching reflections of my own solitude

Heartfelt indifference
towards actions and truths
In shadows I can see light
I whisper your name
In the night

Spare me from those sirens' lies
Spare me from this grand illusion
Spare me from those weeping eyes
And promises of absolution

Shall I stand without defense
Now that death is all around me
Did you hope for my surrender
Leaving me to die on the
bloodstained ground

It's only a lifetime
Where heroes need heroic deeds
It's only a lifetime
Where children dream of breaking free
Follow the cause
Follow the signs
Drawn by a song to our own demise
It's only a lifetime
Dragged across the rocks by the sirens' whisper!
