AmOn the wall the canvas hangs
CFrozeE7n there in time
CThey marGvel at the beauty
The Amhorror and Fdespair
At the Amwake of the Medusa
CNo one shAmed a tear

CSit my fGriends and listen
To the Amvoices of the drowned

In the moonlight's ghostly glow
I waken in a dream
Once more upon that raft I stand
Upon a raging sea
In my ears the moans and screams
Of the dying ring
Somewhere in the darkness
The siren softly sings
Out there in the waves she stands
And smiling there she calls
As the lightning cracks the sky
The wind begins to howl
Melody (2x)
The architects of our doom
Around their tables sit
And in their thrones of power
Condemn those they've cast adrift
Echoes down the city street
Their harpies laughter rings
Waiting for the curtain call
Oblivious in the wings
The casket is empty
Abandon ye all hope
They ran off with the money
And left us with the rope
The casket is empty
Abandon ye all hope
They ran off with the money
And left us with the rope
