Avalin
Sitting there still
As still as a statue
Beautiful and perfect
But dangerous and deadly are they
Harmful games that they play
And haunting tunes they sing
Lost fisherman to them they bring
Singing a softly seductive song
After that only her you'll long
"Come to me, my handsome man"
She speaks so sweet, and has many a fan
You have no choice but to obey
For you now are her prey
Lost are you now on Siren's land
You obey her every wish and command
Flowers laced throughout her hair
Forever do they stay there
Lovely, beautiful, and full of grace
Clothes made from the finest lace
Earth,air, sky, and sea
No one as beautiful and deadly as thee
The come in swarms of many
But one is just as bad as any
"Keep me company and share my splendor"
You have never found someone so gentle or so tender
But it's a trick and convincing lie
But man knows only what he sees with an eye
So now your lost on Siren's land
You obey her every wish and command
