Drink from the leche of sirens

Summon the sailors in town

Verse 1:
G#m                         D#
Engraved in our memory, the harm that was done
    F#                         F           C#
Our mothers, the witches they banished and burned
G#m                     D#
All of our sisters were killed and abused
F#                              C#
By sword-swinging men who would always accuse

Pre-Chorus:
G#m                      D#
The worst of a woman who fights for our right
F#             D#m           C#
To be where we belong at the front of the line
Em                   D#m
Tired of silence and being polite
     C#            C#m        D#7
Your legs turn to shimmering scales in the night

Summon the sailors in town
G#m          F#       E     B
Strangle the fear of deciding
G#m         D#          G#m
Which ones deserving to drown

Don't feel bad when these fuckers all drown

Verse 2:
G#m                    D#7
Tenderness worn on the skin like a dress
D#m                          C#
Nurture these men, pull them out of their mess
G#m                       D#               D#7
They steal the resources, destroy all the land
D#m                       C#
Belittle the power of the feminine hand

Pre-Chorus:
G#m                         D#
The milk from the rivers of every moon
F#         D#m               C#
Cradle you tight like you’re back in the womb
Em               C#m  D#          D#m
Bury their souls in a cove by the light
C#m                    D#7
Celestial dip all that ego and pride

Summon the sailors in town
G#m          F#      E      B
Strangle the fear of deciding

Which ones deserving to drown
