Styx

Black water rising
No way back
Oars are shaking
Fade to black
Coins on my eyes cold and still
Breath held tight against my will
Shadows whisper cross the shore
Every step feels final now
Names are carved into the dark
Every soul leaves just a mark
No more time no alibi
Only echoes asking why
We cross the Styx
No return
Fire inside
Bridges burn
We cross the Styx
Skin and bone
Pay the price
Go alone
Ferryman with hollow eyes
Counts the truth counts the lies
Hands are shaking grip the rail
All the living stories fail
Memory is getting thin
Who I was is wearing in
Feel the pull beneath the skin

Let the ending pull me in
We cross the Styx
No return
Fire inside
Bridges burn
We cross the Styx
Heart turns cold
Lost the past
Bought the soul
Hold your breath
Don’t look down
Hear the water
Drag the sound
Say your name
Let it sink
One last thought
Before you blink
We cross the Styx
No return
Fire inside
Bridges burn
We cross the Styx
End begins
Leave the light
Lose the skin
Black water
Pulls me in
Cross the Styx
End begin
