siren song

devics

on a hot summer wind

that the night had blown

in a vision a siren in black,

with green velvet eyes

and a porcelain smile

the fireflies

danced in her hair

she said“please can you help me,

i’m lost andi’ve nowhere to go,

please can you be

the kindest soul?”

well i couldn’t resist

her undauntable charm as

she brushed passed me through the door,

there was something inside burned i just

couldn’t hide,

i’d never seen beauty before

“please can i stay,

for my body is weak to the bone,

and can you tell me are we alone?”

heaven is only

one kiss away

and i can take you as long

as we stay well,

the first lie i told was my wife had been gone

one year ago to this day

and i still hear her cries

in the trembling night

and the nightmares just won’t go away

“please come close

and look deep in my eyes”

and i watched them turn black as night

heaven is only

one kiss away,

and i can take you as long

as we stay

heaven is only

one kiss away.

hells here on earth boy so drink

for today

well i watched her lay sprawling,

beckoning and calling,

burning holes right through the floor

and the wind started howling

and my hands started shaking

and the smell of death rose through the air

“this is the last thing

that i’ll ask of you,

embrace me tonight and let us take flight”

her siren song seeped slowly into my head

as i drew her close to my lips

and as they gently touched i felt a terrible rush

as the life was crushed right

from my heart

with my last breath

i watched

the black angel of death

spread her wings

in bliss for

she had stolen my soul through a kiss

heaven is only

one kiss away

and i can take

take you as long

as we stay

heaven is only

one kiss away

hell’s here on earth boy so drink

for tod
