Sirens

    Em
One taste of the sound from the Sirens in the water
                   Em
And I'm thinking, "I should get out this sharpest sword and suit of armor,"
            F#dim                  Em
So I can be ready to strike. But I pause, one more time.
         D#dim                         Em
One last taste of the sound, then I'll cut these Sirens down.
            D#dim                     Em
But as they sang, I forgot. They were death so I brought
        F#dim                   Em
Them my heart to be filled, and I followed them.

   Em
No trace could I find of any joy the Sirens promised.
                 Em
They had found a way with the light: turned what's good and should be wanted
             F#dim               Em
Into what is highest above all desires and loves,
         D#dim                        Em
'Till my heart would obey whatever it wants, whatever it takes
         D#dim                   Em
To feel alive and set free, only bound to the sea,
          F#dim                 Em
Where the Sirens are leading me on.

Em      G            C
Hold on! Hold on, my heart!
              G                 Em
You once were full, and sang of grace!
        G            C
Hold on! Hold on, my heart!
              G                    Em
You've tasted joy that's more than this. (2x)
     G
Hold on!
