The Briar Fields: The Siren Sea

The Siren Sea


My dearest love…
In the window you sit and stare
As the night wind haunts your hair
Longing for what I can’t give to thee
Longing for…
The Siren Sea…

The seventh day…
But your eyes they won’t look away
On your knees as if to pray
Calling to gods of false sanctuary
Calling out...
To The Siren Sea…

Hear them come…
Like cattail shadows in the setting sun
Spider fingers on the unborn young
Snatching you away from me
Carrying you…
To The Siren Sea…
To The Siren Sea…
To The Siren Sea…
To The Siren Sea…

Am I really the one with wax in my ears?
The one who’s governed by their fears?
Though I’m standing still, it is you who’s running away
Entangled in the wisps of ecstasy
You lift the veil of your mortality
And the bone face smiles at you, as if to say

Come this way…
And leave these hours of dismay
The lonely nights of misery
Behind you in the world of symmetry
Leading you…
To The Siren Sea…

How I long…
I try to hold you with a desperate song
Though I know you’re already gone
Sailing towards the jagged rocks of destiny
Fading away…
In The Siren Sea…
In The Siren Sea…
In The Siren Sea…
In The Siren Sea…
In The Siren Sea…
In The Siren Sea…
In The Siren Sea…
