The Siren (Waterhouse painting)
The Siren is a painting by John William Waterhouse. The painting depicts a siren sitting at the edge of a cliff, lyre in hand, staring down at a shipwrecked sailor floating in water, who in turn is staring up at her.
According to the William Waterhouse's website, this picture was painted in 1900 and is now part of a private collection. The estimated sales price for the painting in 2003 was one million pounds.
"The Siren He listened in thrall to the song of the siren, Her voice like a star as it flew through the air. He drowned in her eyes as she called him to follow, And likened the sun to the gold of her hair.
She swept up her arms and held him close to her, Her soft lips caressing the lines on his brow. He could not resist her, a magic had trapped him, And nothing could save him, for she had him now.
She pulled him down with her into the clear water, He gasped as death started the grip on his soul. His life ebbed away as she dragged him still further, And laughed when she saw she'd accomplished her goal." - Charlotte Lester.
The Siren (sculpture)
The Siren is a sculpture by Norman J. Gitzen in Wellington, Florida. It consists of a 3 metre tall hand-pounded steel and bronze depiction of a mermaid with webbed hands and unusually large breasts. It is part of the village's public art program, which involves 21 artists loaning art work to be displayed in public places. Originally placed outside Wellington Community Centre, it was moved to a new site outside a swimming pool after some complaints about the nudity of the statue. The artist later added nipples to the sculpture's breasts.

The Graveyard
by: WitcheryWe've been diggin' this grave for hours n´hours
Hiding ourselves from the light
Open this casket to feed the beast
A sacrifice done in the night
Howling wolves at a brightful moon
A shadow flys across the sky
Whispering voices chants a eerie tune
"Hurry up and dig" you fool
A ressurection in the dead of night
The secret earthing of the dead is right
Midnight at the graveyard
Our footsteps hammer on the coffinlid
Gently we both clear up the dirt
A foul scent of death, the stench of rotten flesh
Was that a moan from beneath that I heard?
Rise from the grave!
The rain beats done but now the time has come
We place the corpse down on the ground
Preparing the rite, but I feel something is wrong
Now the body has open it's eyes
A ressurection in the dead of night
The secret earthing of the dead is right
Midnight at the graveyard
Midnight at the graveyard
