about

Track 8 off of Demons, a concept album themed around the Seven Deadly Sins. Siren Song is the song for gluttony.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
All you can eat
Just 9.95
Come, take a seat
Give the specials a try

You can have what you like
As much as you want
Drink the well dry
Then come back when you’re done

[Chorus 1]
‘Cause it’s more than enough
When you’re born into luck
And the fruit’s always ripe
On the vine

But the land wasn’t free
So we paid in deceit
And then claimed as our
God-given right

[Verse 2]
Top of the line
Our guarantee
The best deal you’ll find
For this quality

You’ve got money to burn
And no reason why
You don’t deserve
The best you can buy

[Chorus 2]
‘Cause it’s money well spent
Giving less than you get
But it’s goddamn for sure
Never free

There are prices to pay
Though the fortunes are weighted
In blood that’s been spilled
In the street

[Bridge 1]
Sounds and colors invading
Our ears and eyes
Drown out suffering faces
And tears they cry

[Bridge 2]
Round and round the money flows
Hands are bound as profits grow
Cats get fatter climbing ladders
Made from the bones of the prey they dispose

So hang your head and keep it low
Earn your bread and grind the stone
Await the day you take your place
And sit among giants the way that they promise us

All for one or one for all
It can’t be both so make the call
To fall in line, or break the binds
That control you, hold you
Deep in a trance as you join in the dance
Of the dead

But oh, doesn’t it feel good
Oh, doesn’t it sound nice
To cast your shame
And heed the Angel
Crying a siren song
