Erin Nightingale - Beware, The Lorelei (feat. Harmony Gailey)

Listen, my captain, to me
Before you sail the Rhine
However smooth your course may be
Beware, the Lorelei

A mystical beauty she is
With hair of gleaming gold
And eyes that promise endless bliss
A ceaseless sleep foretold

With song of silken mist
She calls you from afar
Compelling you with careless speed
To come from wherever you are

Now hypnotized and unaware
You fall into her trap
You will not hear, or see, or care
As timbers groan and snap

And the waves rise up to claim the ship
Jump off or breathe your last
The Siren lures you with a grin
You can't escape her grasp

The patron of the river glees
As frantic you swim ahead
Her arms about you tightly squeeze
She carries you down to her bed

The goddess of the Rhine
Has many hearts to steal
With kiss of death she stops your breath
Her cold and fatal seal

Why do you dare to dream of her
Her heart is never true
An angel though she may appear
Women care more for you

They're the ones you'll want to hold
So learn what mermaids do
And reverence not the hair of gold
Or eyes of ocean blue

And listen, my captain, to me
Before you sail the Rhine
However smooth your course may be
Beware, the Lorelei
