Voices - Penelope Houston

Children are always coming and going

Adults are growing old and dying off

The memories saved are for ever distorting

The future will cover the loss

These are the voices that call me

The sirens are singing my name

I'm headed for enemy territory

The future is taking his claim

Now I'm young I've had enough fun

I'm ready to leave it behind

I want to see to plunge into my destiny

And execute this fortune of mine

These are the voices that call me

The sirens are singing my name

I'm headed for enemy territory

The future is taking his claim

Bring on my fate

I refuse to audition

I'm ready for a life

That will twist my soul

And give me a face

That's wracked with emotion

Give me a vision

To grow old

These are the voices that call me

The voices that sing and seduce

I'm headed for enemy territory

I'll never return to my youth
