I've been reading the Saga of the Mers at http://www.Mythize.com, and I'm really excited about the debut of the first book in the Epic Series!
It'll be out this Spring!

Meanwhile I still love going through the old stories, but there is a great one on the old story lines in the song by Ocean, "Siren Song", and the lyrics are :
SIREN SONG © 2003, words and music by Ocean

THERE ARE LEGENDS FROM DAYS OF OLD
TALES THAT SALTY MARINERS TOLD
OF HOW SEAFARERS WHO LOST THEIR WAY
WERE ENTRANCED AND LURED ASTRAY
ENTICED BY THE SPARKLING LIGHT
OF MOONBEAMS DANCING ON THE WAVES
OF EMERALD SEAS AND INDIGO SKIES
BY BEAUTY WERE ENSLAVED
LULLED BY THE RHYTHM OF THE SEA
APPARITION, ILLUSIONS, REVERIE
THEY HEARD A HAUNTING MELODY
FANTASY, IMAGE, DREAM, ECSTASY

I'LL GIVE YOU ALL THAT LOVING CAN BRING
PLEASURE FOR PLEASURE IS ALL I SING
LOVING, SO WILLING, BECKON TO ME
GOLDEN HORIZONS WILL SET YOU FREE
CRAVING FOR PARADISE SHINES IN YOUR EYES
STARDUST AND MOONBEAMS FLOAT IN THE SKIES
GARDEN OF BEAUTY, EVERY DELIGHT
RADIANT SPLENDOUR LIGHTS UP THE NIGHT
TROPICAL ISLAND, VISIONS TO SEE
LONGING FOR PASSION, OUR FANTASY
COME DREAM WITH ME, YOUR WHOLE LIFE LONG
GIVE YOUR SOUL TO THE SIREN'S SONG
YEARNING FOR PASSION, DEEP IN YOUR SOUL
ENRAPTURED BY THE BRIGHT MOONGLOW
GLISTENING STARLIGHT RIDES ON THE WAVES
BEAUTY MAKES A WILLING SLAVE
PARADISE PROMISED IN EVERY KISS
CALLS YOU TO ETERNAL BLISS
IN YOUR HEART YOU ALWAYS KNEW
SWEET DESTINY WOULD CALL TO YOU

HIDDEN OASIS LOST IN THE SEA
OUR PRIVATE EDEN, OUR FANTASY
WONDROUS VISIONS SHINES IN YOUR EYES
BEAUTIFUL DREAMS, OUR OWN MIRAGE

CLOSE YOUR EYES
DREAM OF THE SEA
TAKE MY HAND
AND FOLLOW ME

SOME SAY THEY WERE HELD UNDER A SPELL
BUT AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL
THEY FOLLOWED THE FATES MOST WILLINGLY
AND VANISHED IN SPLENDID PURSUIT OF DREAMS
THEY LEFT ALL ELSE BEHIND A TOMB
AND GAVE THEIR SOULS TO RAPTURE, OR DOOM
AND EVEN AGAINST FRIGHTENING ODDS
THEY SOUGHT TO LIVE, OR DIE, AS GODS

ENCHANTMENT, DESIRE, REFUGE OF DREAMS
SHOWS YOU HOW THE NIGHT SEA GLEAMS
YIELD TO THE SPLENDOUR OF THE NIGHT
HYPNOTIZED BY THE SHIMMERING LIGHT
LUMINOUS STARS FLOAT ON THE WAVES
SAVE YOU FROM A WATERY GRAVE
SIREN SONG DOES MAGICAL THINGS
ALWAYS TURNS WINTER INTO SPRING

WANTON DESIRE NEVER TO TAME
BRIGHT ILLUSION CALLS YOUR NAME
ANSWERS YOUR EVERY NEED
WITH BLISSFUL FANTASY

AND SO, SEDUCED BY WHAT THEY'D SEEN
ENTRANCED, BELIEVED SHE WAS NOT A DREAM
A FAIR SEA MAIDEN WITH TANGLED HAIR
THEY WILLINGLY FOLLOWED TO HER LAIR
AND THEY WERE NEVER SEEN AGAIN
AT LEAST, NOT IN THE WORLD OF MEN
DID THEY FIND SWEET PARADISE ?
OR A WATERY DEATH, AS COLD AS ICE?
WE HOPE THEY FOUND THE BETTER HOME
THAT ONLY THEIR FONDEST DREAMS HAD KNOWN
SO, WHEN YOU WATCH HORIZONS OF SKY AND SEA
REMEMBER HEROES WHO FOLLOWED ROMANCE
AND WERE,
AT LAST,
SET FREE

From Ocean's CD, "Mermaid Music", available everywhere.
