Siren Saved - Julia Juan

Siren Saved 

No one ever asks why all of the sirens sing their song 

sailors ships follow the stars without wondering what's wrong 

my piercing notes are heard far above the dangerous waves 

in which the drowning men do not escape their judgment day 

I'm alone with just my thoughts for my freedom I'll await 

but when if they see the rocks they quickly turn the other way 

I hope that if I bring them here I'll have some company 

my harmless efforts always somehow turn to tragedy 

I've been here for eternity please someone help me out 

The roaring waves block out all sound so you can't hear me shout 

so I sing from pain hoping someone will help me escape 

if I am trapped and sailors leave then maybe they should pay 

So many years of passing ships but still to no avail

am I that insignificant or do you just not care 

I matter too, start listening when I reach out and plea 

or soon you will regret that you had ever ignored me 

Now are you happy you've enraged me left me all alone 

while you go right back to your king who sits upon his throne 

If that is how it's going to be then you've chosen your fate 

I will sing over the waves to ensure you won't escape 

I have been singing the same song for years, its been too long 

look here comes another ship but someone else came along 

is that the king Odysseus I see tied to the post 

he looks so ridiculous as he edges towards my coast 

I sing my song to drown the king but the ropes held him back 

the sailors can not hear my song with their ears blocked with wax 

victorious they sail to Ithica as I fade away 

finally my freedom's come I no longer have to stay
