The Gray Havens - Sirens lyrics

Hold on my heart You once were full and sang of grace Hold on One taste of the sound From the sirens in the water And I'm thinking I should get out The sharpest sword and suit of armor So I can be ready to strike But I pause, one more time One last taste of the sound Then I'll cut these sirens down But as they sang, I forgot They were d**h, so I brought them my heart To be filled, and I followed them No trace could I find Of any joy the sirens promised They had found a way with a lie To turn what's good and should be wanted Into what is highest above all desires and loves Til my heart would obey Whatever it wants whatever it takes To feel alive and set free Only bound to the sea Where the sirens are leading me on Hold on Hold on, my heart You once were full and sang of grace Hold on Hold on, my heart You've tasted joy that's more than this Hold on Hold on, my heart You once were full and sang of grace Hold on Hold on, my heart You've tasted joy that's more than this Hold on
