The Pirate's Voice

Sprite of broadsides, booty and plunder
touches pirate's evil heart with thunder.

Moving silently through all the seas
whispering temptations to bring them to their knees,
till the rage in such incredible brutal desire
to find a ship they can destroy and set a fire.

Each current is part of her special power
over which she invisible watches from a cloud's tower.
Coming to the dreams of ordinary sea fairing men
corrupting them with her greed's mystical blend
until they think those wicked urges are a friend.

Tides at last carry their hearts in quest for gold
sailing the oceans so ravenous and bold,
inspiring the tales of savagery so often told
never thinking how her voice will prevent them from growing old.

For the siren's spell she weaves with such delight
carries a price for which there is no flight,
pirates doomed by her invisible hands in a wave
pulling them by down death to a watery grave.
