Alesana - A Siren's Soliloquy

Paralyzed by the beauty of those
words that so
delicately drip
from this angel
of untamed lust.
Suddenly I fear the end of my solitude,
once a warrior,
poetic shrieks,
now own my soul.

Left behind
to fight the ruthless pawns of Eris.
Hope will strike her down
beneath the blade
(She sings for him)

Suffering, unseen,
now will be
left to
burn in her stare,
but he no longer fights the torture of her voice.
So long forgotten,
I am lost in her stare.
Made so clear as she extracts her painful toll,
a soul now echoes
with the torture of the sirens.

Beautiful whispers leave one so fair,
chain these hands
of ageless struggle.
Rid us of this
beloved curse.

An epic
tale of deceit
is given
life once more
on silver lips.
So spiteful,
her tongue screams for him,
rid us of this
beloved curse. Suffering, unseen,
now will be
left to
burn in her stare,
but he no longer fights the torture of her voice.
So long forgotten,
I am lost in her stare.
Made so clear as she extracts her painful toll,
a soul now echoes
with the torture of the sirens.

Set loose so long ago
by the foolish whim of Pandora.
Phantoms which shall
forever prey
on mankind's weakness.

The grains of time hold no
bearing to those eyes.
In pale moonlight
she sings
to the haunted sea.
Vile notes seduce
old cerberus to slake unholy thirst.

Left behind
to fight the ruthless pawns of Eris.
Hope will strike her down
beneath the blade
(She sings for him)

Suffering, unseen,
now will be
left to
burn in her stare,
but he no longer fights the torture of her voice.
So long forgotten,
I am lost in her stare.
Made so clear as she extracts her painful toll,
a soul now echoes
with the torture of the sirens, with the torture of the sirens.
