Siren Song
On a hot summer wind
That the night had blown in a vision a siren in black
With green velvet eyes and a porcelain smile
The fireflies danced in her hair
She said, "Please can you help me
I'm lost and I've nowhere to go
Please can you be the kindest soul?"
Well, I couldn't resist her undauntable charm
As she brushed passed me through the door
There was something inside
Burned, I just couldn't hide
I'd never seen beauty before
"Please can I stay
For my body is weak to the bone
And can you tell me are we alone?"
Heaven is only one kiss away
And I can take you as long as we stay
Well, the first lie I told
Was my wife had been gone
One year ago to this day
And I still hear her cries in the trembling night
And the nightmares just won't go away
Please come close
And look deep in my eyes
And I watched them turn black as night
Heaven is only one kiss away
And I can take you as long as we stay
Heaven is only one kiss away
Hells here on earth boy so drink for today
Well I watched her lay sprawling
Beckoning and calling
Burning holes right through the floor
And the wind started howling
And my hands started shaking
And the smell of death rose through the air
This is the last thing that I'll ask of you
Embrace me tonight and let us take flight
Her siren song seeped slowly into my head
As I drew her close to my lips
And as they gently touched I felt a terrible rush
As the life was crushed right from my heart
With my last breath I watched
The black angel of death
Spread her wings in bliss
For she had stolen my soul through a kiss
Heaven is only one kiss away
And I can take you as long as we stay
Heaven is only one kiss away
Hells here on earth boy so drink for today
That the night had blown in a vision a siren in black
With green velvet eyes and a porcelain smile
The fireflies danced in her hair
She said, "Please can you help me
I'm lost and I've nowhere to go
Please can you be the kindest soul?"
Well, I couldn't resist her undauntable charm
As she brushed passed me through the door
There was something inside
Burned, I just couldn't hide
I'd never seen beauty before
"Please can I stay
For my body is weak to the bone
And can you tell me are we alone?"
Heaven is only one kiss away
And I can take you as long as we stay
Well, the first lie I told
Was my wife had been gone
One year ago to this day
And I still hear her cries in the trembling night
And the nightmares just won't go away
Please come close
And look deep in my eyes
And I watched them turn black as night
Heaven is only one kiss away
And I can take you as long as we stay
Heaven is only one kiss away
Hells here on earth boy so drink for today
Well I watched her lay sprawling
Beckoning and calling
Burning holes right through the floor
And the wind started howling
And my hands started shaking
And the smell of death rose through the air
This is the last thing that I'll ask of you
Embrace me tonight and let us take flight
Her siren song seeped slowly into my head
As I drew her close to my lips
And as they gently touched I felt a terrible rush
As the life was crushed right from my heart
With my last breath I watched
The black angel of death
Spread her wings in bliss
For she had stolen my soul through a kiss
Heaven is only one kiss away
And I can take you as long as we stay
Heaven is only one kiss away
Hells here on earth boy so drink for today
