Siren's Song (Country Remix)

[Intro – Instrumental] [Verse 1 - Male voice] Poetry is a dangerous siren’s song, That calls the soul towards a chasm deep, Dulling the mind and making the heart long, For that which it may touch yet never keep. [Verse 2 male voice] A Sonnet is too much the friend of truth, And leaves no room for self-deluding lies, It conjures up the honesty of youth, And artifice through artifice soon dies. [Chorus - multiple blended female voices] Poetry is a dangerous siren’s song, That dulls the poet’s mind, makes the heart long, For that which it may touch yet never keep. [Bridge] [Verse 3 Male voice] Essential truths will spill onto the page, Transpiring through the pores of consciousness, Leaving exposed the battles that we wage, To build facades of hope for hopelessness. [Chorus - multiple blended female voices] Poetry is a dangerous siren’s song, That dulls the poet’s mind, makes the heart long, For that which it may touch yet never keep. [Outro – Male voice,, breathy pained, almost a whisper] I can deny the painful song I hear, But it’s too late; its message is too clear.
