The Sirens Never Stop Singing

True that. We have to tie ourselves down, and not touch ourselves in the process.

 

One taste of the sound
From the sirens in the water
And I'm thinking I should get out
The sharpest sword and suit of armor

So I can be ready to strike
But I pause, one more time
One last taste of the sound
Then I'll cut these sirens down

But as they sang, I forgot
They were death, so I brought them my heart
To be filled, and I followed them

No trace could I find
Of any joy the sirens promised
They had found a way with a lie
To turn what's good and should be wanted
Into what is highest above all desires and loves

Til my heart would obey
Whatever it wants whatever it takes
To feel alive and set free
Only bound to the sea
Where the sirens are leading me on

Hold on
Hold on, my heart
You once were full and sang of grace
Hold on
Hold on, my heart
You've tasted joy that's more than this

 

Good analogy. I miss the old days when there was a much greater barrier to entry with porn. You really had to want to get high to leave your house and go to an adult video store. Those places were always super creepy. You had be seen as an addict publicly. So you were anchored down to a degree.

 

War rages inside me
Deny the sweet lie from me

I want to see, I want to feel
I don't care if it's not real
I have to go, unchain me
Because the flesh is weak

In my dreams, I cry for more
Nothing is the way it was before

I feel like a sea without a shore
Let my heart go!
I curse the day, I heard your call
Let my heart go!

Soul, eternally bewitched
Home and peace, do they even exist?

I want to see, I want to feel
I don't care if it's not real
I have to go, unchain me
Because the flesh is weak

In my dreams, I cry for more
Nothing is the way it was before

I feel like a sea without a shore
Let my heart go!
I curse the day, I heard your call
Let my heart go!

Hear now, heed the words of wisdom
The peril is waiting for you
Fear not, cling yourself to wisdom
Survive the torment of souls
The serenity after a storm

In my dreams, I cry for more
Nothing is the way it was before

In my dreams, I cry for more
Nothing is the way it was before

I feel like a sea without a shore
Let my heart go!
I curse the day, I heard your call
Let my heart go!

 

Hell yeah! I have always prized myself on having refined, "TRVE KVLT" metal tastes - but for all my talk I have never been able to stop sacrificing brain cells to the Finnish pantheon of Ensiferum. Even (no, ESPECIALLY) their cheesy, shitty folk metal Victory Songs gets me going like no other. Best track on their new album is Rum, Women, Victory.
