Ferryman Lyrics


A kingdom so dark, cold and condemned

A place without life

Where souls wander in solitude

Without finding peace

Looking over the river that flows so still and dark

Standing waiting, with gold in their hands

To pay the journey ahead

In silence rows the ferryman, across the river Styx

Once you're there in the land of the dead, you'll be forever gone

Kerberos the three-headed beast, guards the gate of the dead

The road is closed for those who live

Leave or you'll die

Dark as a shadow, Charon remains in his boat

The souls are leaving the shoreline

Soon they'll disappear

In silence rows the ferryman, across the river Styx

Once you're there in the land of the dead, you'll be forever gone

He knows, he has seen

The halls of the kingdom below

Soon they will be with Hades forevermore

In silence rows the ferryman, across the river Styx

Once you're there in the land of the dead, you'll be forever gone
