Siren Song

Come, Odysseus...

Sweet whispers sweep past his ears and put his mind to sleep...

Aren't you even just a little curious?
We know you'd like to see us.
It's just a matter of time,
Despite what you might think,
Into our voices, left with no choices,
You will always sink...

Why do you fight it?
We have no fire, ignite, lit!


Unknown to you, oh this Zeus is a pest, Odysseus!
You must pass this test, lest you be but a second Prometheus,
Promised to be returned, your situation seems so lost,
Victory, but at what cost?


No, man, no man should go through
Such trials, we gods can be so vile.
Immortality has turned us to monsters,
Worse than those you've already slain.
Demanding sacrifices and ridiculous prices.
What right do we have to determine the plight of others?


Only human.
