When the sirens sing again...
He is sitting on a hill, a vapid night is crawling through the vale
The trees are fangs of transiency, the demons forge hammers and nails

When the sirens sing again...
He will travel all the ways that lead to the unknown lands
Time has distorted his view, an amen in his due

When the sirens sing again...

Notes:

Released in 1992, "Sirens" was the first taste Alphaville fans had of Janey Diamond's longer work "Elegy". Another taste of "Elegy" appeared in the same year as "Legend". However, fans had to wait until the release of Dreamscapes in 1999 to hear the full version.
