Seirenes - Sea Nymphs - Greek Mythology Contest

The song they sing Will bewitch you Promising you everything Warming your bed to loving you Heartbreakers for sure Full of wickedness and sin They are so evil Promising love but taking a life They were handmaidens to the Goddess Persephone When Haides abducted her Given bodies of birds Sent to search for her got tired and made Anthemoessa Island their home There they sang their song Luring sailors to their death Orpheus helped the Argonauts sail past By drowning out their music with his song. Odysseus also sailed by Bound tightly to the mast His men blocked their ears Using wax, so no song was heard For this to happen Distressed the Seirenes so much They threw themselves Into the sea and drowned.
