Siren Song

from White Witch by Andrew James Barker

/

about

Recorded in Toronto at Candle, and the Crawlspace.

lyrics

The siren in the cove
Enveloped me in her song
Serpents tendril tongue
Sung lyrics of envy

The pilgrims’s requiem
Condemned me to eternity
Cursed rain for centuries
Turned me to the beast
That haunts the depths
Of the sea

There’s a darkness hidden within the
Intervals of her beautiful melody

I have played the fool
(though my aim was true)
A leader of men with forced hands
(head in the sand)
Freed the white witch
With a siren’s serenade
Lost ourselves lost our way
(as the shortening days)
Spun the almanac’s pin wheel
Back to when the world was flat
Petrified family tree
Sapling dynasty

There’s a darkness hidden within
The intervals of a beautiful century
