Siren Song
On a hot summer wind
That the night had blown in
A vision, a siren in black
With green velvet eyes
And a porcelain smile
The fireflies danced in her hair
She said, "Please, can you help me?
I'm lost and I've nowhere to go.
Please can you be the kindest soul?"
Well, I couldn't resist her undauntable charm
As she brushed passed me through the door
There was something inside burned
I just couldn't hide
I'd never seen beauty before
"Please, can I stay
For my body is weak to the bone
And can you tell me are we alone?"
Heaven is only
One kiss away
And I can take you
As long as we stay
Well, the first lie I told
Was my wife had been gone
One year ago to this day
And I still hear her cries
In the trembling night
And the nightmares just won't go away
"Please, come close
And look deep in my eyes"
And I watched them turn black as night
Heaven is only
One kiss away
And I can take you
As long as we stay
Heaven is only
One kiss away
Hell's here on Earth, boy
So drink for today
Well, I watched her lay sprawling
Beckoning and calling
Burning holes right through the floor
And the wind started howling
And my hands started shaking
And the smell of death rose through the air
"This is the last thing
That I'll ask of you
Embrace me tonight and let us take flight"
Her siren song seeped slowly into my head
As I drew her close to my lips
And as they gently touched, I felt a terrible rush
As the life was crushed right from my heart
With my last breath
I watched the black angel of death
Spread her wings in bliss
For she had stolen my soul through a kiss
Heaven is only
One kiss away
And I can take you
As long as we stay
Heaven is only
One kiss away
Hell's here on Earth, boy
So drink for today
