Temptation - ASM, A.S.M.

Some days go by in the nautical heat

High seas, commands the fleet

When all of a sudden he froze as though hypnotized

By voices seductively sweet, beckoning

Lets go of himself and his routing

Something of a man possessed now about him

Tells his comrades proceed without him

He rows to the shore unsure of his ears

Unable to stray nor veer from his course

And the source of the sound draws near

Headlong into the song

Enchanted, abandons his last inhibitions

Headlong into the sultry song of the sirens

Reeling him into the island

Magnetism

I can’t resist her speech

Without moving her lips

I proceed with confidence as if filled with knowledge of her intent

Her relentless gaze has me in a daze

But what’s this?

More silhouettes visible through the mist

Finds himself engulfed in a swarm of the sweetest creatures

He ever had the pleasure of encountering, skin like silk

And the taste of the dew on their lips as they yield

Taking his plough to the field

Plentiful ripe for the harvest crop

Days fade to a haze and he savors every last drop

Many moons have come and gone

And although the lust is strong

It’s Ashira for whom I long

It’s all gone wrong

I bet Rongon has stopped the rebellion

I gotta be a man and go help them

I gotta get my boat to the coast

Or the whole thing is never gonna come together

I should’ve known better

I should’ve never had this endeavor

But whatever, I gotta make it count now

Gotta make the crown bow before me or bow out

Lay the plow down

Let the sound of the waves drown out temptation and sail now

Only one man in the land whom destiny chose that could conclude the tale now

Through delirium he knew what to do

Reclaim sidium, command the troops

The rocks on the sands will proudly stand

When he docks in his homeland anew

Despite his brief lapse of the flesh

Induced by the sirens song

They’ll know his name when he meets dry land

And they’ll know it when he gone
