Seven sailors from the north
Set their sails for the isle of Rott
Then their heading turns southwest
For adventure and conquest

Seven sailors head southwest
'Cause the wind fills their sails
On a journey across the North Sea
It's for adventure and conquest

And the Sirens sing from every shear
As the northern seamen are drawing near
How they sing, how they bring the northmen closer in
They approach the ship, cling in on to its rim

The Sirens cling now to the ship
The sailors seemed to lose their grip
Enchanted by the Siren's song
Mesmerized to go along

Seven sirens of the north
They put their seamen to their rest
Ended their journey across the North Sea
For adventure and conquest

And the Sirens sang from every shear
As the northern seamen were drawing near
How they sung, how they clung on to the drowning men
The seven sailors will never return again

Their ship went down
East of the United Kingdom
Now their seven widows weep
The seamen veiled in endless sleep

Come, sleep with me
I will set you free
Come, dream with me
At the bottom of the North Sea

And the Sirens sang from every shear
As the northern seamen were drawing near
How they sung, how they clung on to the drowning men
The seven sailors will never return again
