The Siren's Mutiny

We sailed in to port on that dark summer's night
The wind it did howl cross the bay
And her voice it was calling' from under the waves
Begging to take me away

Singing aaaayo, your heart is mind to hold!
Aaaayo, we're never growing old!

Well we all went ashore and the boys were all talk
For they'd had one too many to drink
But me I stayed sharp, kept a hand on my sword
T'was then that I started to think

Singing aaaayo, that ship was mine to hold!
Aaaayo, the ocean's dark and cold!

Well, fool that I was I went down to the dock
Left my crew behind back at the town
As she called me to her with her voice soft as silk
My heart had no choice but to drown

Singing aaaayo, your heart is mine to hold!
Aaaayo, we're never growing old!

Well she asked me to stay in her watery grave
But my faith to my crew was too strong
As I pushed her away and ran back to the town
Something felt terribly wrong

Singing aaaayo, that ship was mine to hold!
Aaaayo, the ocean's dark and cold!

When the sun next arose we set sail once again
Our heading was set down the coast
But my crew they were restless, myself full of doubt
And I found that I missed her the most

Singing aaaayo, your heart is mine to hold!
Aaaayo, we're never growing old!

Well the storm blew up quick and her voice called again
And the boys they were driven insane
Their jealousy burned and I lost my command
For a storm is a seafarer's bane

Singing aaaayo, that ship was mine to hold!
Aaaayo, the ocean's dark and cold!

Well the sky opened up and the rain it did pour
And the ship it was flung into the deep
That's where she waited, and where I shall stay
For my heart had become hers to keep

Singing aaaayo, your heart is mine to hold!
Aaaayo, we're never growing old!

We sleep in the harbor, our souls laid to rest
And our love reaches far past the grave
And a ship you might see on a dark summer's night
A ghost ship that wanders the waves

Singing aaaayo, that ship was mine to hold!
Aaaayo, the ocean's dark and cold!
Aaaayo, your heart is mine to hold!
Aaaayo, we're never growing old!
