[Intro] [Storm sounds, ship creaking] [Accordion and fiddle melody] [Heavy guitar enters] [Verse 1 - Lead Vocal] Three days out from harbor town The storm had finally settled down When through the mist we heard a sound Like nothing we had heard before A voice so sweet it stopped our hearts More beautiful than any art The crew stood frozen at their posts Drawn toward the rocky shore [Pre-Chorus - Lead] The captain screamed "Cover your ears!" But half the crew had disappeared Running toward the starboard side Enchanted by her song [Chorus - Full Crew] She's calling from the deep blue sea A siren's song of mystery With scales that shine like silver light And eyes that hold the stars at night Don't listen to her melody Or you'll sleep beneath the sea A beauty born of ancient tales The siren's call prevails! [Verse 2 - Lead Vocal] Young Jack was first to see her face Rising from the ocean's grace Her hair like seaweed dark and long Her voice still singing strong She smiled and reached her pale white hands Promising forgotten lands Where sailors rest forevermore Beneath the ocean floor [Pre-Chorus - Lead] We tied the crew down to the mast While her enchantment held them fast Fighting ropes with desperate strength To answer her sweet call [Chorus - Full Crew] She's calling from the deep blue sea A siren's song of mystery With scales that shine like silver light And eyes that hold the stars at night Don't listen to her melody Or you'll sleep beneath the sea A beauty born of ancient tales The siren's call prevails! [Bridge - Lead Vocal, Softer] [Accordion and fiddle prominent] Old tales speak of mermaids fair Who drag men down without a care Half woman and half fish they say Guarding treasures far away Some say they're cursed and cannot die Forever singing their lullaby Collecting souls beneath the waves To fill their coral graves [Instrumental Break] [Heavy guitar solo over accordion] [Fiddle joins in traditional shanty style] [Building intensity] [Verse 3 - Lead Vocal, Urgent] We turned the wheel with all our might And sailed away into the night But three good men were lost that day Jumped overboard into the spray We heard their screams mix with her song Then silence came before too long The water where they disappeared Turned calm and crystal clear [Final Chorus - Full Crew, Powerful] She's calling from the deep blue sea A siren's song of mystery With scales that shine like silver light And eyes that hold the stars at night Don't listen to her melody Or you'll sleep beneath the sea A beauty born of ancient tales The siren's call prevails! [Outro - Lead Vocal] [Music quieting to accordion and waves] So if you sail the northern seas And hear a voice upon the breeze Remember this, our warning true She'll sing her song for you [Crew - Spoken, Rhythmic] Cover your ears! Tie down the crew! Don't look upon her! Or she'll take you too! [Final line - Lead, a cappella] The siren's call... prevails... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An epic pirate rock sea shanty about sailors encountering a deadly siren - a mythological mermaid whose beautiful song lures men to their death beneath the waves. The song combines traditional sea shanty elements (call-and-response vocals, accordion, fiddle, maritime storytelling) with heavy rock instrumentation (powerful electric guitars, thunderous drums) to create a modern take on classic sailor's tales. The narrative follows a ship's crew three days from port when they hear an impossibly beautiful voice through the mist. Despite the captain's warnings, several crew members are enchanted by the siren's song and attempt to throw themselves overboard to reach her. The song vividly describes her appearance - pale skin, dark seaweed hair, silver scales, and hypnotic eyes - while building tension as the crew fights to save their enchanted shipmates. The production balances authentic sea shanty tradition with pirate rock energy. Gang vocals on the chorus create that classic shanty feel of sailors singing together, while heavy guitars and drums provide modern rock power. Storm sounds, ship creaking, and ocean ambience enhance the maritime atmosphere. The mythological element centers on the siren legend - half woman, half fish, cursed to sing forever while collecting the souls of sailors. The song warns that despite her beauty, she's a deadly creature of the deep. Three crew members are ultimately lost, their screams mixing with her song before the water turns eerily calm. The outro serves as a warning to future sailors: if you hear that voice on the wind, cover your ears, tie yourself down, and don't look upon her - or you'll become another soul in her underwater collection. It's a dark tale of supernatural danger disguised as beauty, told through the lens of maritime folklore and delivered with the raw power of pirate rock. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © 2025 Ande Records Lyrics by Ande All rights reserved. https://ande-records.se/
