    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)
