The veil dividing the living and dead

Is ever so waning

Severed from my mortal vessel

Adrift beyond this earthly threshold

Floating further towards death’s pale mist

My vision nebulous

A restless spirit doomed to wander

This endless abyss

The forsaken wash ashore

This dreaded dreary coast

This dreaded dreary coast

Pay the fare–two obols

And ‘cross the Styx you’ll go

Charon shall escort your soul

With a lantern ore and boat

Athwart we row this river of ghosts

Specters haunt these ghastly waters

Lamenting in sorrow

Forever bound by time

The torchlight’s dim glow

It is engulfed

By the vastness of nihility

Arriving on blackened soil

Approaching monolithic gates of obsidian

Approaching monolithic gates of obsidian

Where the hound of hades dwells

Cerberus casts a watchful eye

Devouring those who dare

To escape these catacombs

Behind these gates

Three ageless arbiters await

A tribunal of the dead to reveal my fate

Divine retribution you must face

For it is the gods you have disgraced

Banishment to the nethermost Tartarus

In binding chains of adamantine

In the Phlegethon you will bathe for all eternity

For your crimes against the deities

A final reckoning of all mortal beings

I am damned to drown in this Stygian sea

This is where our odyssey ends in ash and ember

A restless spirit doomed to wander

This endless abyss

A fitting end to a futile existence

It was all for naught
