blood red are the midnight waters moon burns like a flame fog hangs like battle smoke as the streets fill up with rain for my head the mob is calling the courthouse doors i stand i think i d rather meet my maker by then hangman s hand i can t change what i ve done all i can say is beware of the siren s song over seven seas we sailed until i heard that sound a plaintive voice such aching beauty i turned that ship around crew of a hundred strong lost my head and now they re gone the nail in my coffin was heeding the siren s song blood red are the midnight waters moon burns like a flame i d give all my gold and silver just to hear that voice again i can t change what i ve done beware of the siren s song yeah all i can say is beware of the siren s song
