lyrics

I fell victim to the siren’s silent screaming
On the boat that I call home is where you’ll find me slyly scheming
Of a mutiny, stupidly, the things I let a woman do to me
In the name of lust will be the things that ruin me
Drilling holes in the deck at her beck and call
The life boats and preservers Of course I wrecked them all
And best of all? I even killed the captain
Now there’s none to stand and spur these men into action
And how could this happen? Enraptured by the seven seas
My pride and gluttony will surely be the end of me
My enemy is none other than myself
More so than the melody pushing me towards Hell
And I’ve none to blame but the devious siren
Pulled in with promises of love, but greeted by violence
In wishing only for silence, she drives me to these evil deeds
My bloodshot eyes will be the last thing these people see
Please don’t fight it and please don’t hate me
I’ll join you in Hell, eventually matey
The sea calls my name, the she-serpent beckons
She won’t be satisfied til the ship lies in wreckage
My insides are empty, devoid of a soul
Snarling and gnashing, devour me whole
Pull me down to the depths that you call home
Rend me, and consume me, and then tear flesh from bone
But first I gotta know, did you use me for my body?
You were never satisfied ‘til they lay either dead or hobbling
Your words dripped with malice while your saliva simply dripped
I thought we’d be together, but now I know that I’ve been tricked
The water fills the barracks and then of course the lungs
Of the men I’ve worked beside in the years since I was young
Such beauty I’ve never seen, and kindness I’ve never known
Ecstasy in the seven seas, can I take you home?
Like our thermodynamic, this love is one-sided
Outlawed in the eyes of both God and Poseidon
Follow me cries the mermaid, but I stay on the deck
The look in her eyes betrays the hunger for flesh
One last wailing note, one sin with which to cope
Dissipate the last part of me, desecrate my only hope
Grab my knife with one hand, and guide the blade with the other
Smiling forevermore, I do my best to join my brothers
And I’ve none to blame but the devious siren
Pulled in with promises of love, but greeted by violence
Wishing only for silence, she drives me to these evil deeds
My bloodshot eyes were the last thing you’d ever see
You couldn’t fight, and I hope you don’t hate me
I’ll join you in Hell, eventually matey
The sea calls my name, the she-serpant beckons
Now she’s satisfied, the ship lays in wreckage

A whisper and a scream and everything they lay between…
A whisper and a scream and everything they lay between…
A whisper and a scream and everything they lay between…
A whisper and a scream and everything they lay between…

A traitor, a scurvy dog a man with no pride
On my tombstone all of these terms were applied
Let it be known that here he lie
The miserable man with nothing inside
He killed the whole crew, he even bludgeoned the cook
He claimed that the siren was the one who baited the hook
He said that she loved him, with tears in his eyes
But when we hung him there was no siren in sight
