Ferryman

(Verse 1)
Waiting for the ferryman with a silver coin in hand,
On the path to the unknown,
I know it’s an eternity waiting for me.
Inside, I am torn with anxiety.
I wanna go home, this just feels wrong,
Stuck on the shore, waiting for what's to come. (Verse 2)
In the darkness, I hear the beeps from the hospital bed,
A familiar loving voice, someone holding my hand.
I hear my baby crying — I died trying.
I try to whisper, "Baby, I love you, , never let go,.
I should have stayed home last night,
I don’t wanna say goodbye.
I feel it coming, something’s changing.
I try to grab her hand tight in mine, but I can’t.
It’s my last breath of time,
I can’t feel your hand in mine Anymore .
Your voice turns to an ECHO, fading away. (Chorus)
Bring your coin, bring your soul,
No more love — over the Styx you go.
There’s no need for silver or gold. (Bridge)Out of the fog comes Charon,
The ferryman – he looks like the Reaper.
Pale and silent, he collects his coin and waves me on Cold as stone.
I wanna run, but I can’t.
There’s only darkness. I have to obey.
He doesn’t say a word as I pray,
Until the shore disappears as we’re on the way.
On the Styx to somewhere…
He suddenly turns and says.(TALK vocal)
"As long as we hope for salvation, we look at life,
But when we pass into this world, we are captives of eternity". (Chorus repeated):
Bring your coin, bring your soul,
No more love — over the Styx you go.
There’s no need for silver or gold. Outro:
In the distance, I can see a hole in the mountain.
You can hear screams of agony and pain.
Fire and rain — this is the entrance to Hell.
I guess my soul was for sale.
Here’s no judge, no bail. Chorus (repeated):
Bring your coin, bring your soul,
No more love — over the Styx you go.
There’s no need for silver or gold.
Just your troubled soul,
Scream like you're insane, it’s all in vain.
They all do the same.
Welcome killers and slain,
Let’s play a game, eternal pain!
