Midnight Odyssey - Styx - Converge, Rivers of Hell Lyrics


Nine circles travelled

The boundary of the world

Of waters blackened

Converge, rivers of hell

Amongst the yew trees

A silent deathly path

Of vapours poisoned

Exhale, breath of life

Oh waters holy

Of whom the gods swear oaths

A binding promise

No words can be undone

A pact made to be broken

The waters must be drunk

Silent the god tongues

Nine long summers must pass

Another nine years

Forced into exile

From marble halls of grandeur

The realm of Saturn's son

For even he knows

An innocent request

Cannot be broken

Can only end in death

And through night's blackness

The waters cold and dark

Calmly down the cliff side

Are swayed by jagged rock

A realm unworldly

Majestic silver swirls

Immortal waters

Tide against the marsh

The sun and eagle

Have known the water's ways

One gave his chariot

And one - His self revealed

To swear upon them

The silver slygian waves

Is cursed to regret

The fearful stream of hate

Nine circles travelled

The boundary of the world

Of waters blackened

Converge, rivers of hell
