calling

i hear them calling to me from another world, look at the place you live they say, oh won't you join us in a world that's without pain?, leave behind your misery, i cannot listen without longing, to let go of my burdens sounds so sweet, reasons to hold on there are many -, this i must remember when the sirens call to me, i hear them calling from beyond, from beyond oh no, sometimes i feel i can't go on, i hear them calling from beyond, from beyond oh no, must find the strength to carry on, i need you with me, when i awake the siren still resonates, in sadness from unremembered dreams, and in the prison of this longing, i'm waiting for parole, waiting to be free, i know that my time here has not yet come, there's still so much that's left to do and say, i know that my work here is not done, but i'll go to them someday
