Singing to them,
With the voice of a goddess.
Calling to them,
Warm arms spread wide.
Offering the deepest desires of man.
How could one resist?

Voices sing smooth as velvet,
Men listen.
So sweet - Oh so sweet!
Men weaken.
Offering the deepest desires of man.
How could one resist?

Longing,
Aching,
Filled with desire,
The song guides them,
but only to their doom.
Offering the deepest desires of man.
How could one resist?

They sing,
but only in trickery,
They call,
but only to deceive,
Offering the deepest desires of man.
How could one resist?

The Sirens,
Masters of guile,
Sing their sweet song.
Waiting,
Tempting,
Offering the deepest desires of man.
How could one resist?

Follow the song,
Follow the song,
The hearts of men give in,
Follow the song,
Follow the song,
The Sirens always win.
