lyrics

SIREN SISTER

I’m on a roll
Drift and swirl
Dip and curl
Swoon unfurl
Dive and hurl
My marble body
To the wave

I’m on a high
Siren cry
Croon and sigh
Breathe me dry
Shoot the lie
Watch me plummet
To the deep

My ships are sailing
Send my fleet into the bloodied sun
The winds are fair with fury
So billow on my galleon
Billow on on on on on

This lady’s not for turning
This city’s not for burning
This life is rigged for learning
Prow forward dark sea churning
To the world’s end
To the world’s end la la la la la

I’m in a bind
Nailed to the tree
Cold and free
Gilded she
Looks like me
Crash my bones
Into white horses

I’m deaf and blind
Lashed to the mast
Bind me fast
Died and cast
Call me last
Breathe in the sweetness
Of the ocean

My ships are sailing
Send my fleet into the bloodied sun
The winds are fair with fury
So billow on my galleon
Billow on on on on on

This body’s not for spurning
This heart will not stop yearning
This mind wakes to hear her sing
Prow forward dark sea churning
To the world’s end
To the world’s end la la la la la

My ships are sailing
Send my fleet into the bloodied sun
The winds are fair with fury
So billow on my galleon
Billow on on on on on
