There she waits, sea maiden so fair

Beneath watery keep and salted tears

Sunlit tresses fanning sea-caps0

Mythical, dangerous, natural beauty

Beneath watery keep and salted tears

Sea tastes bitter on the tongue

Mythical, dangerous, natural beauty

Oh, behold her fathomless treasure

Sea tastes bitter on the tongue

Her mournful eyes belie her lair

Oh, behold her fathomless treasure

Mortal men, beware the siren's call

Her mournful eyes belie her lair

Sunlit tresses fanning sea-caps

Mortal men, beware the siren's call

There she waits, sea maiden so fail

Strongheart
