My hopes and dreams were shattered, life had just begun...

Never knowing no answers or reasons, never asking the questions why

Soon begged for forgiveness, I Hope that they would comply

Yet the gods of yesterday, relentlessly denied

A boy not a king or  man, forgotten by the sands of time

Now the boatman has cometh for me, to take my soul away...to take me away

Lay me down to rest, bury my soul alive

Screams fill the darkness, shattered out through the night

Place these coins in my eyes, the boatman is coming for me

Set the funeral fires, ashes rise to the sky

Kings are watching, warriors marching, battlefield cries out

Swords are clashing, chains are smashing an gods are laughing

Still my destiny calls, awaken me once again

Return me to this place, vengeance lies deep in my hands

Avenge the blood of my brothers, die by the kings command

Lead you strong into battle, deliver us from this evil hell

Sunrises cast of the shadows river kingdom lies South of the holy land

Warriors lay dead on the path they fled, blood stains the roads made out of sand

Die by the sword, his command, die by the sword, die by the sword, die by the sword

Crosses burned, rise to the sky, lightning strikes, thunder roars

Die by the sword, his command, die by the sword, die by the sword, die by the sword

Die!

No escape from the light, nowhere you can hide

The boatman is here, your fare is paid tonight

Together we ride, across the sea of life

Your king will soon come, ruler of this land

You die by the sword, died on his command

Return me you ask, the boatman sighs and laughs...ha, ha, ha...
