Blood red are the midnight waters,
Moon burns like a flame,
Fog hangs like battle smoke as the streets fill up with rain,
For my head the mob is calling,
The Courthouse doors I stand,
I think I'd rather meet my maker, by then hangman's hand.
(Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh),
I can't change what I've done,
(Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh),
All I can say is beware of the Siren's Song.
Over seven seas we sailed,
Until I heard that sound,
A plaintive voice, such aching beauty,
I turned that ship around.
(Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh),
Crew of a hundred strong,
(Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh),
Lost my head and now they're gone,
(Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh),
The nail in my coffin was heeding the Siren's Song.
Blood red are the midnight waters,
Moon burns like a flame,
I'd give all my gold and silver,
Just to hear that voice again.
(Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh),
I can't change what I've done,
(Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh),
Beware of the Siren's Song,
(Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh),
Yeah.
(Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh),
All I can say is beware of the Siren's Song.
(Oh - oh - oh, oh - oh - oh)
