My siren is so heavy
Pulls me down to watch me drown
She said she built a levy
Only just to tear it down
I should have seen it coming
Should have seen that evil gaze
The waters slowly rising
Each second seems like days
She dragged me through her waters
Into her abyss
Should I even bother?
Lost within her kiss
Deeper into nothing
Filling up each lung
Leaves me ever wanting
A final song is sung
She told me of betrayal
She showed me no self worth
Love destined to fail
Stripped me of my mirth
She told me of desire
Showed me how she sinned
She told she's a liar
She tossed me to the wind
She dragged me through her waters
Into her abyss
Should I even bother?
Lost within her kiss
Deeper into nothing
Filling up each lung
Leaves me ever wanting
A final song is sung
So sick of all the cheating
So tired of the crimes
Yet I'm the one on trial
I'm sick of all the times
I took on every beating
Ignoring every sign
Stuck with my denial
I made you so divine
But excuses are so useless when sins have filled the well
So heavy with your flaws I'm stuck inside my hell
Pulls me down to watch me drown
She said she built a levy
Only just to tear it down
I should have seen it coming
Should have seen that evil gaze
The waters slowly rising
Each second seems like days
She dragged me through her waters
Into her abyss
Should I even bother?
Lost within her kiss
Deeper into nothing
Filling up each lung
Leaves me ever wanting
A final song is sung
She told me of betrayal
She showed me no self worth
Love destined to fail
Stripped me of my mirth
She told me of desire
Showed me how she sinned
She told she's a liar
She tossed me to the wind
She dragged me through her waters
Into her abyss
Should I even bother?
Lost within her kiss
Deeper into nothing
Filling up each lung
Leaves me ever wanting
A final song is sung
So sick of all the cheating
So tired of the crimes
Yet I'm the one on trial
I'm sick of all the times
I took on every beating
Ignoring every sign
Stuck with my denial
I made you so divine
But excuses are so useless when sins have filled the well
So heavy with your flaws I'm stuck inside my hell

Dragons
Dragons.
Some say they never were,
And were birthed from imagination.
The same say that fantasy
Is the realm of children and the insane.
To believe in the magical,
the mythical,
And the fantastic
Is to be as a child or a madman.
I am neither and I believe in dragons.
The majestic Lords of skie
Born of fire.
In an averie of flames
The eggs lie
Warmed by mothers breath.
Emerging weak and hungry,
Parchment wings
Unfurl for the first time.
Infant sings
For mothers attention.
Noble, proud and powerful
Lords of the skie
Reach the very stars with
A thermal sigh
And one thunderous wingbeat.
Upon the winds they soar
Swooping,

Phoenix Rising
Blood spills throughout this dark plain,
As skulls continue to rise up a towers crane,
The vermillion bird falls from the sky,
Where into dust itll disappear into pry.
The flames of distrust have been extinguished,
As the bird's heart fights to distinguish,
Rising up from the dust, as it readies insurrection,
Waiting for the moment of its di

Phoenix
Phoenix
The phoenix is my symbol
It is my sign
For it is my strength
My souls twine
For I am the phoenix
I am the fire
Death and rebirth
In me is one pyre
In flame immortal
My soul consumes
The universal power
Through which life blooms
For I am a god
I am life
My glory be crowned
Naught rage I with strife
(c)2004 Joseph Palladino

Good stuff! I know it's the metaphors used, but it makes me think of a sailor's shanty. So many songs comparing women to aspects of water.
