Sirens
Entransient Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A land of promises
Promises all hollow
Deceptive and untrue
The sirens will sing to you
A land of temptation
Guiding to your ruin
But known to only few
Leading you astray
Cannot look away
Their voices will leave you
Hypnotized and spellbound, confused
Cannot run away
Their song will leave you
Mesmerized and held down
Sweet melodies deceive you
The sirens will sing to you
A promise of salvation
Submit yourself completely
And it will come for you
The sirens will sing to you
A promise of damnation
If you should turn away
If you should refuse
The sirens will sing to you
Leading you astray
Cannot look away
Their voices will leave you
Hypnotized and spellbound, confused
Cannot run away
Their song will leave you
Mesmerized and held down
Sweet melodies deceive you
Cannot look away
Their voices will leave you
Hypnotized and spellbound, confused
Cannot run away
Their song will leave you
Mesmerized and held down, and used
Sweet melodies deceive you
