	Distinctly bright, yet darkly serious ... Xyra hits it off rhythmically, with acoustic/electric guitar. Bret Empie strikes an acute balance on MIDI harpsichord, while Norman Thorne and Larry Lawrence hold a thoroughly upbeat stance, with Andrew Cann on piano. Elements of surprise hold true, as Eric Ulreich plays astounding guitar solos akin to those Mick Ronson played when he was with David Bowie's Spiders From Mars.

	Story Behind the Song In the process or writing a series of songs, including 'My Captain,' Xyra was still profoundly touched by the story of Captain McVay and the USS Indianapolis. Siren in the Water was perhaps written from a siren's perspective. Helpless, she watches the horrors unfold, knowing it was not she who beckoned them to their deaths at sea. Lyrics In your heart of love Lost on the horizon Time spent, unaware I thought that I would find you Stand with me Tell me you can find me In this state of mind Nothing should elude me Chorus: All the gray, this sad day Turns to fire, self-contained I remain a siren in the water Souls are waning here Waiting for the slaughter Words of many men Wiser than the other Mother, I am here Smarter than my father Stand with me Tell me you can find me In this state of mind Nothing should elude me Chorus 2: Inner realm, time inside me Never let the outer forces harm me Ruined caveat, turning water Souls are waning, here Waiting for the slaughter (Repeat 1st verse and chorus)
