The song "To the Victims of Sirens" draws upon a story from Homer's "Odyssey" - our titular protagonist, Odysseus, trying to reach home after the Trojan war and lands upon the island of Sirens. Their beautiful, mesmerizing voices lead sailors to their doom, causing them to crash their ships and drown in the process. While Odysseus commanded his crew to stuff their ears with wax as a protection and ordered them to tie him to the mast of the ship, in the song our character falls victim to the Sirens’ deceiving singing and ultimately shares the abysmal fate of men that came there before him.
LYRICS
Lured into the depths of the ocean
by this beautiful melody
I think of those thousands of sailors
who have been here before me,
I think I can hear their wailing
Taken away from their mothers,
their bodies float beneath the surface,
swayed by waves to eternal sleep…
Their empty, dead eyes stare
into the abyss
You were calling me from a shore,
and although I knew I shouldn't have come any closer,
I just couldn't resist
The last thing I felt
was your ice-cold hand around my wrist
pulling me down, into the depths
I think of those thousands of sailors
who are going to show up here someday,
And then they will hear my wailing
Taken away from my mother,
my body floats beneath the surface,
swayed by waves to eternal sleep…
My empty, dead eyes stare
into the abyss
