If you play FFXIV, then you may have ventured into a dungeon called The Sirensong Sea aboard a ship called "Misery" (😱) which inevitably gets dragged off-course. Men have begun to whisper of "strange things in the water" and that really got my ...er, tides a-flowing? Waters a-rushing? Bubbles a-bubbling...you get the idea.
I'd been wanting to try my hand at writing a sea shanty for a while but it always ended up sounding too Viking-ey, which is fine, but I wanted it to sound more Celtic and bittersweet. And this is what was conjured. I know it's not 100% in-keeping with the current music theme for The Sirensong Sea, but I ran with my own vision of fleeing through the caves and pirate nooks being pursued by a constant magical lull that tugs at me to come back to the water and sink below.
Lorelei is the final boss in The Sirensong sea and she casts an ability called "Somber Melody" which, I like to think, would be my version of the song, reaching out to the players and trying to entrap them. It's not really. it's just a party-wide AOE.

lyrics

Another day upon the waves
Water shimmering gold
On the breeze, the voices tease
And rock you to and fro
Sweetly sung and sweetly sad
It's woven in your sleep
You dream, you dream of ocean deep
Your heart belongs below

And the winds will blow
Ohhhhh
For this song you know
Ohhhhh
Through your heart it flows
Ohhhhh
Heed the Sirensong
Though you row and row
Ohhhhh
Her voice only grows
Ohhhhh
Through your heart it flows
Ohhhhh
Sweet the Sirensong

Close your eyes and drift awhile
Sleeping, sinking, safe
Take a breath of cradling depth
A smile upon your face
Down we go and down we go
Into the blue unknown
You dream, you dream of ocean deep
Your heart belongs below

For this song you know
Ohhhhh
You belong below
Ohhhhh
In your heart it flows
Ohhhhh
Heed the Sirensong
Though you row and row
Ohhhhh
You belong below
Ohhhhh
For this song you know
Ohhhhh
Sweet the Sirensong

You belong below
Ohhhhh
For this song you know
Ohhhhh
In your heart it flows
Ohhhhh
Heed the Sirensong

Though you row and row
Ohhhhh
You belong below
Ohhhhh
In the blue unknown
Ohhhhh
Deep the Sirensong
