In the land across the sea They speak about a sailor In the days of mystery When Earth was a different place And you still will hear the tale They tell of his wisdom In his hour of destiny He followed the song of his heart. refrain: Beware the siren song A song of delirious beauty Though you want to sing along A song full of promised delight Lash yourself onto the mast A song that will lead you to madness Till the siren song has passed A song that ends only in pain Through the wind and through the rain Through the long night of tempting Of torment and of doubt He cried out in his pain But this captain stayed the course Guiding the ship through danger Past the siren's melody On to the promise of home. refrain Beware the siren song Try not to listen Make sure the ropes are strong Focus your vision Beware the siren song A song of beauty Guide your ship on the right course. And the ocean is so deep Blackening water is raging As the ship is tossed about A speck in the infinite void And the map is old and worn Stained with the tears of captains Who have sailed this way before To follow the song of the heart. refrain (twice, but the second time omit the very last line)
