High above the plane of Avernus

Floats the city of Elturel

Bound by chains of the dark lords

Masters of all the planes of hell

Climbing down the iron links

Twisting sky and putrid stench

Forsaken friends seek the immortal blade

The key to save Elturel

(Chorus)

The boatman awaits

Ferry his passengers across

Towards their eternal doom

Flows to the river of blood

Riding upon their war machines

Warlords roam across the planes of hell

Seeking those who have lost their way

Grind their bodies; steal their souls

Ancient map of a madman

Lost his mind charting a course

Seeking the mystery of the lost sword

Legend of the fallen Zariel

(Chorus)

The river flows through

Weaving across the plane of hell

Souls are consumed

Swallowed in the river of blood
