Sirens

Lyrics

[Intro] Oh, don't stop, play on, please There's a price, a place on your ship What do you know of the sea? Nothing To face the sea without knowledge or skill brings only death Of death, I am knowledgeable Danger I do not fear and I can give you music Music that will tame wild beasts, lift men's hearts to heaven What is your name?
