Sirens

Will Stelter

I have heard the siren call, abandon oars and brother’s hulls.
Into the oceans voices lure, over the edge, into black midnight blurs.
Jump far or abandon all hope on the reef.

For, I have heard the siren call, echoing doom to us all.
And like a river it will flow, throughout your bloodstream, and we’ll lose all control.
So jump far, or abandon all hope on the reef.

I recall the witches screams, calling for you and me.
Promising in the end, we will suffer like they do.
Jump far or abandon all hope on the reef.

Swim strong or abandon all hope, under seas.
Inhale before the waves collapse, and drag you underneath.
Or falter on the reef.
