Hail Odysseus |
He surely sails on tameless seas |
With idle hours in devils 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 in 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 sirens 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 forevermore, she sings no longer on the shore |
