Siren`s song

Написано на флэшмоб Распиши писало, тур 1, «Морские чудища». Тема: Сирена

Voice of siren is a snare,

Only trap to catch you there,

Those who heard it – cursed and mad,

So they say, but I can add:

Like the shining diamond sparkle

In the winter moonless dark,

Like the rustle of the waves

Or the black sea serpent’s scales,

Like the wind of iodine salt

Makes me shiver like with cold -

That is what my soul goes through

When I hear the voice of you.

That’s my beacon in the night

When is no the slightest light,

Answer that no one can tell -

Voice of angel sings from Hell,

Voice of thoughts and horror dreams,

Fever, fervour, fade and dim,

Silky silver siren`s song

Frights me so and lures me so.

What I fear and what I`ve lost,

What desire at any cost -

All in it and all is thrown

Like your bone-and-golden crown.

Voice of siren is a snare,

Only trap, in what I swear,

Those who heard – you know, they're dead

Or at least they're cursed and mad,

Spending days upon the shore

With the splashes they implore,

Pray to monster: “Share my life

Like my lover or my wife!”

Neither mistress nor a doll

Not to me and not at all,

Blazing in the distant sky

Lures and leaves but never lies;

When I sleep in the far depths

When no hope or pain are left

Guide me there between the threats

With no shudder or regrets.
