Sirens of Titan Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was drawn by the sirens of Titan
Carried along by their call
Seeking for a way to enlighten
Searching for the sense of it all

[Verse 2]
Like a kiss on the wind I was thrown to the stars
Captured and ordered in the army of Mars
Marching to the sound of the drum in my head
I followed the call

[Verse 3]
Only to be Malachi Constant
I thought I came to this earth
Living in the heart of the moment
With the riches I gained at my birth

[Verse 4]
But here in the yellow and blue of my days
Wander the endless Mercurian caves
Watching for the signs the harmoniums make
The words on the walls

[Verse 5]
I was drawn by the sirens of Titan
And so I came in the end
Under the shadow of Saturn
With statues and birds for my friends

[Verse 6]
Finding a home at the end of my days
Looking around I've only to say
I was the victim of a series of accidents
As are we all

[Outro]
I was drawn by the sirens of Titan
As are we all
I was drawn by the sirens of Titan
As are we all

As are we all
I was drawn by the sirens of Titan
As are we all
