Lyrics
He surely sails on tameless seas
With idle hours in devil's hands
One hundred men on tameless seas
Always searching for sacred land
Rain, lashing, raw shoulders
So heave onwards and heave again
With wrists bangled, with scars again
From below, she watched only him
Secretly, she watched only him
Stowaway she crept, so grim
He surely sails enchanted seas
Hearing voices he believes
Hail Odysseus, come to us
So heave onwards and heave toward us
With wrists bangled, with gold and stars
And from below she screams out, "No, Odysseus, please don't go"
And you must fear the voice you hear
Already now, they're so near
"And you will fall at the siren's call, into their poisoned claws"
Fearing loss, she watched them go
The sirens, she thought, take me
From below, she leapt into the sea
From the sea to the land, greeting her a golden hand
"Welcome child, to our isle, become one, take my hand"
So, it was a new voice sung aloud from the sand
So now sing, lure them in, Odysseus can be your king
The only way to love him, dear child, is to sing them in
And so it was, the crew were lost, even brave Odysseus
Into her arms forever more, she sings no longer on the shore
