Sirens

Lumberjack's looking out for trees

Chopping days out of centuries

But you get them underneath

Cause they ain't so tough I heard things about 'em

The dark sea is a careless host

From north pole to pacific coast

Pure blood is the viking's toast

But his heart will cry if it goes without it

And the sirens always sing

The chants from heaven

Not expecting to be heard

But the love that it won't bring

Will make hearts sever

Of those who go...

The sweet call of the distant shore

They don't know what they're wishing for

If they knock on the devil's door

They better make sure they got something to say

Everybody has a life to fill

They hate waiting and they can't sit still

And what is time but something to kill

Until it's nothing left and the night has the last laugh

They all know when it comes to you

The lucky ride only takes a few

why have a soul when it's yours to loose

you gotta pick your fight you got work to do

Some say that they're running away

From what or where now they wouldn't say

In their minds they're never late

Cause there ain't no-one that is waiting for them

And the sirens always sing

The chants from heaven

Not expecting to be heard

But the love that it won't bring

Will make hearts sever

Of those who go...

Pale riders in a lonely nest

I bet their spanish doesn't work for this

And a banner that they can't resist

But they're not so tough I heard things about them

Some say that they're running away

From what or where now they wouldn't say

On a road trip you cannot stray

But you can get lost trying to find your way home

A virtue and a sin

The sails will shiver

The promises will burn

And underneath the skin

The heart will quiver

of those who roam

And the sirens always sing

The chants from heaven

Not expecting to be heard

But the love that it won't bring

Will make hearts sever

Of those who go...
