Death: “Come along and face the end

I have yet to find a worthy opponent

Judgment day is close at hand

And I command you to leave your scorched land

Countless souls knelt before the council and begged

And you shall be no different”

The Condemned One: “Fire has engulfed my entire life

The stench of charred flesh haunts me and sears me dry

To quench my thirst I've waded through filth and slime

Disposed of all in my path, however meek and benign

Now, lust for blood made way for remorse

And I shall accept all that lies before me”

The ferryman came and took all shades of light

Nightmares consumed both day and night

The end began and carried the sails like a storm

Life will go on

Their stares were empty, mouths shut

Solely emitting a daunting aura of grace

My heart froze as my eyes met the eldest

Cloaked in black, seemingly older than time itself

A sudden flash broke my memory

Losing consciousness, now exposed to their will

Now I anxiously await...

And now I anxiously await...

The ferryman came and took all shades of light

Nightmares consumed both day and night

The end began and carried the sails like a storm

Life will go on

The time has come

I was awakened by a siren's song

I gazed upon a familiar face

Her lips were moist, inviting me

Her voice as soft as a virgin's skin

Caressing all that lurked within

Yet I was never more certain

And so she vanished into thin air

The ferryman came and took all shades of light

Nightmares consumed both day and night

The water stood still yet the boat passed by

Such is life

The facade fell

I stood there, paralysed and shocked

Knee-deep in mud, a fetid swamp

Facing a wizard's hut

He stood armed

With a sceptre and the trace of a smile

The eldest of the council

Leading me to a new life

Still the leaves fall...

The ferryman came and took all shades of light

Nightmares consumed both day and night

The water stood still yet the boat passed by

Such is life

And the leaves fall

And the leaves fall

And the leaves fall...
