Siren's Lament

THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Beneath the crashing waves I dwell
In caverns where the shadows fell
My voice once drew them to my shore
Now echoes through the ocean floor

[Pre-Chorus]
Salt tears merge with ancient seas
Forgotten names on broken pleas

[Chorus]
I am the storm, I am the stone
Singing to hearts I've overthrown
Love's bitter ghost upon my tongue
For all the sailors I've undone

[Verse 2]
Their ships lie scattered in my deep
Where coral grows through promises to keep
I wear their bones like jewelry chains
While moonlight traces all my pains

[Pre-Chorus]
Each tempest born from my regret
The ones I loved, I can't forget

[Chorus]
I am the storm, I am the stone
Singing to hearts I've overthrown
Love's bitter ghost upon my tongue
For all the sailors I've undone

[Bridge]
Once I believed in tender touch
Now isolation's all I clutch
My sisters gone, my voice alone
Condemned to sing from this throne of foam

[Final Chorus]
I am the storm, I am the stone
Forever cursed, forever lone
The sea remembers every name
Of those who loved me to their shame

[Outro]
Listen... listen to my call
The sweetest sound before the fall
