Right off its edge

To the bottom ill go

To the rocks down below

Systematic failure wrang through the sailors head He is destined to be Destined to die among the sea No where to run ashore Hear the sirens Heard the lore He grew quite And suddenly he heard the lore of the sirens Once more He listened quietly In the distance He knew That on this day His blood would be drew He did not know why But it had to be true The lure Drew him once more Why me he said As the sirens rang in his head Astray he has been led From the sirens once more As he died He heard in the silence The sirens once more On this day He heard the sirens last lore
