| In the land across the sea
|
| They speak about a sailor
|
| In the days of mystery
|
| When Earth was a different place
|
| And you still will hear the tale
|
| They tell of his wisdom
|
| In his hour of destiny
|
| He followed the song of his heart
|
| Beware the siren song
|
| A song of delirious beauty
|
| Though you want to sing along
|
| A song full of promised delight
|
| Lash yourself onto the mast
|
| A song that will lead you to madness
|
| Till the siren song has passed
|
| A song that ends only in pain
|
| Through the wind and through the rain
|
| Through the long night of tempting
|
| Of torment and of doubt
|
| He cried out in his pain
|
| But this captain stayed the course
|
| Guiding the ship through danger
|
| Past the siren’s melody
|
| On to the promise of home
|
| Beware the siren song
|
| Try not to listen
|
| Make sure the ropes are strong
|
| Focus your vision
|
| Beware the siren song
|
| A song of beauty
|
| Guide your ship on the right course
|
| And the ocean is so deep
|
| Blackening water is raging
|
| As the ship is tossed about
|
| A speck in the infinite void
|
| And the map is old and worn
|
| Stained with the tears of captains |
| Who have sailed this way before
|
| To follow the song of the heart
|
| Refrain (twice, but the second time omit the very last line) |
