A. S. M. (A State of Mind) - Temptation lyrics

[Narrator] 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 [Shalim] 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 [Narrator] 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 [Shalim] 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 [Narrator] 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
