Nothing Back, With Prelude

Finally found the perfect prelude to this previous piece... She never learns the lesson Not to dance under the moon With all the stars applauding Her nakedness Her thirst, her insane laughter And getting drunk On the flashes of lightning At midnight Nothing Back A siren, you are my love, You call men to their doom... their destiny? I blame you not... for a mortal cannot rule the mythical. I was almost held to your spell... If I had not knotted myself to the mast. You promise an' take everything, But nothing in return do you offer. The sweet songs you weave... Call to me.... As if I were the only one. To see people for who they are... Is the only way i can live.... and give. Goodbye, my Siren,..... goodbye?
