Can you hear the sirens cry From across the water? For your blunders we bore the blame For all who splintered in our wicked wake You tied yourselves up on your masts Asked to take what's not been given Employ for your purpose, all that you find But we are waterborne, we are not your kind We've sacrificed our dreams in your lucid streams For your grander schemes, but we're leaving soon At the water's edge, for your sake we bled Tempting you, though empty to the bone Know that we are not grateful For your guidance and shelter On a stage of your design We stood beautiful and empty We would have traded your trials and fears For the freedom to sail off from here We've sacrificed our dreams in your lucid streams For your grander schemes, but we're leaving soon At the water's edge, for your sake we bled Tempting you, though empty to the bone Know that we are not grateful No more settled and faithful We will never be grateful Can you hear the sirens cry?
