about

A sailor is lured by a siren, but to a Caribbean island, not a Mediterranean one., You may also notice a different ending to the Greek myth.

lyrics

A Voice rang out from an island, so strong, so clear and pure
A sailor, spell bound by the singing, felt it call him to come ashore

Perfect blue framed a lone palm tree, lemongrass scented the air
The sailor didn’t know where he’d woken, but he knew that he didn’t care
He’d left his crew and ship behind, just as night started to fall
This strange beguiling music held the sailor in it’s thrall

The tune, angelic and charming, was used by the Voice as a lure
To entice unwary travellers with a sound too sweet to ignore
He stumbled towards the singer, he didn’t need any guide
But behind the Voice of an angel, the soul of a demon may hide

The Voice rang out like crystal, so strong, so clear and pure
Hypnotised by the melody, the sailor made his way from the shore

He was trapped and had to give in to, whatever the Voice would decide
To be, used, refused and tormented, until the day he died
But the sailor asked why sound so beautiful had brought him to the brink
These first words the Voice ever heard, gave it pause to think

The Voice still rang like crystal, so strong, so clear and pure
But now there was a question - could the melody, be something more?

The Voice mixed words with the music as day melted into night
Together they formed a mystic blend of something that sounded so right
What happened, they could not comprehend, but the magic didn’t take long
The Voice with words from the sailor, now gave birth to a song

The song rang out like crystal, so pure, so clear and strong
Now the music had new meaning - with words it had missed for so long
The song rang out like crystal, so pure, so clear and strong
Now the sailor had found his calling
and the Voice …
had words …
for the song
