Do Not Sing

H. W. Bryce

Do not sing this siren’s evil song
Her words do cut like laser sword
Resist, resist, for pity’s sake

She will seduce you ’ere too long
If you should dally in her sward
Do not sing this devil’s evil song

You do not have to go along
Defy, defy her tempting chord
Resist, resist, for future’s sake

You do so know the right from wrong
You do so know how eagles soared
Do not sing this siren’s tempting song

You can learn to sing a better song
Do not adopt her as your lord
Resist, resist, for honour’s sake

Gird your loin and practise to be strong
Or she will sing upon your wake
Do not sing this siren’s devil song
Resist, resist, for pity’s sake

Do Not Sing this Siren’s Song

–for me the song was Sugar and all things Sweet
And this siren leads you into the house of diabetes
And for some, the house of Alzheimer’s / dementia

–for today’s youth, it is all things drug
Do not give in to temptations, she is the siren of death, swift or slow
And she will take you down!
She will invite you into the house of Beelzebub
— —
Do not buy into castles in the air
