Child of the sea,
So bold and so bright;
Relentless by nature,
Clings to his life.
He faces his fate
As he slips into the light.
He couldn't resist her song
Or her marvellous sight.
As his eyes begin to dim,
He curses his plight.
The siren's call led him astray
On this cold, stormy night.
As his final breath escapes his lips,
Her voice pierces him like a knife,
And he longs to hear her singing again
Even as she claims his life.
