Cover art for Sirens lyrics by Angels and Airwaves

In Homer's "The Odyssey" the sirens are voices that call out to a ship's captain in a really treacherous set of waters and make him fall in love and get distracted from captaining the ship because he's in a love trance, and a he crashes his ships into the rocks where his crew drowns and gets eaten by a sea monster.
