Siren Song of Doom

The quiet dying swan song Arose out of the dismal swamp Through the fog shrouded woodlands of Zara Over the sweltering desserts of black tar Heading rapidly nowhere at all The quite sweat song of her mellifluous voice Echoing through the canyons of my fear Drawing me nearer and nearer I cannot resist the siren's haunting melody Drawing me nearer and nearer to my doom My old friend self-fear cries out Time to escape while I can Yet I cannot resist I cannot escape All I can do is listen To the haunting enigmatic voices Of the siren's sweat and sour music Blasting away my selfish fear Naked, alone I stand Proud in homage To my own gods Back in the swamp Wandering forever Until it seems I met you, yet again
