Sirenum Scopuli

Waves crash around me as my eyes descend on the crimson sky
Smashed on the rocks, my ears bleeding to your deathly lullaby
Weave me a tale, a release from this prison of sand
Hopes of euphoria fueled by the vices of man.

Sing regality, breathe faith unto me
Blinding eyes reveal I'll never leave
Reigning diety, love eternally
These are the things you know I'll never see
Things that you'll never see.

Fourteen months, a face crew on the seven seas
I'll sacrifice this life for all of your feast and light
All that once was ecstasy, a moment of fleeting beauty is gone
All I know: Sirenum Scopuli.

Never give in to my fate, man the ships at high tide
Oh but it is too late, your soul will forever be mine
A prisoner from the start, I pray reprisal is soon near
A fool betrayed by his heart, and now you understand true fear!

You are a merchant of death
(Death bells are calling my name)
Nameless I'm bound to the black seas
Fall into trance by my voice
(Voices so shrill just the same)
Same as the countless before thee
Eternally you are blessed
(Blessed in your presence I bathe)
Bathe in your glorious charade
Down in your pulpit you stand
(Stand in my watery grave)
Grave is your fortune I'm afraid.

Sing regality, breathe faith unto me
Blinding eyes reveal I'll never leave
Reigning diety, love eternally
These are the things you know I'll never see
Things that you'll never see.

Fourteen years, a victim a fool to the seven seas
I gave my life: temptation, you made the best of me
All that once was ecstasy, a moment of fleeting beauty is gone
All I've known: Sirenum Scopuli.
