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
