(Verse 1) Black water whispers in my veins, A coin’s weight in my palm. No hymns left for the ferryman, Just echoes—cold and calm. (Pre-Chorus) You said you'd wait, But the tide don’t lie. The shore’s a ghost, And I’m the price. (Chorus) Oh, Styx, oh Styx, Drag me slow, drag me quick. Silver moon on a dead man’s lips, One kiss—then the current slips. (Verse 2) Charon laughs in pocket change, My shadow’s all I owe. The dogs howl where the reeds turn strange, And the deep won’t let me go. (Bridge) I carved your name in the hull’s old wood, But the rot got there first. Love’s a debt the river understood, Paid in thirst. (Chorus) Oh, Styx, oh Styx, Drag me slow, drag me quick. Silver moon on a dead man’s lips, One kiss—then the current slips. (Outro) No light, no light, Just the oar’s slow creak. And the water’s black, And the water’s deep.
