The Ferryman

(Verse 1) In the depths of Hades, where the rivers flow, Through the mists of sorrow, where the dead souls go, A figure shrouded, robed in blackened night, He ferries the fallen, from the realm of light. In the depths of Tartarus, where the damned are chained, The ferryman waits, his eyes cold and stained, A shadow in the dark, with a grin so vile, He beckons the lost, across the cursed Nile. (Pre-Chorus) With blood-soaked coins, they pay the dread, To cross the Styx, where the hopeless tread, His hollow laughter, like a harbinger of dread, In the heart of darkness, where the broken are led. (Chorus) Ferryman of souls, harbinger of shadows, Guide the lost and damned through the eternal meadows, Ferryman of the damned, harvester of sorrow, Guide the wretched souls to their grim tomorrow [breakdown] [breakdown] (Verse 2) Across the Stygian waves, where the dead abide, Through the putrid waters, where the serpents lie, Charon takes his toll, on his spectral ride, In the underworld's fire, where the cursed scream, He brings them forth, to a nightmare's gleam, No escape from fate, no pleading cries, His boat a vessel, for the endless pain, To the throne of Hades, where the shadows reign. [instrumental] [breakdown] (Chorus) Ferryman of souls, harbinger of shadows, Guide the lost and damned through the eternal meadows, Ferryman of the damned, harvester of sorrow, Guide the wretched souls to their grim tomorrow [breakdown] (outro) Ferryman of souls, harbinger of shadows, Guide the lost and damned through the eternal meadows, Ferryman of the damned, harvester of sorrow, Guide the wretched souls to their grim tomorrow [fade out] [instrumental] (Chorus) Ferryman of souls, harbinger of shadows, Guide the lost and damned through the eternal meadows, Ferryman of the damned, harvester of sorrow, Guide the wretched souls to their grim tomorrow [outro] Ferryman of souls, harbinger of shadows, Guide the lost and damned through the eternal meadows, Ferryman of the damned, harvester of sorrow, Guide the wretched souls to their grim tomorrow [fade out]
