the erinyes
in darkness we wander
the seas of our wrath
the pearls of sorrow
strung our new path
Tisiphone, sing songs
of vengeance and murder
the future is but a melting truth
my envy you stir
Megaera, you beauty
Alecto, your fury a burning blur
your skin born from fire
your eyes forged from knives
your hands drip desire
and take away lives
the siren
her hands are locked in silver secrets
curls dance like waves in raging seas
eyes bleed hues of drowning raindrops
her heart devours all she sees
her sight is hazed with haunting voices
her touch tells stories in the dark
she feels her all enwreathing whispers
they pull her in the song of night
her voice is strung by sorrow
the long forgotten lover
and for the endless stream of time
he‘ll always have to drown her
