The Styx

Land of eternity, land of the low Land of our fathers' sins Ever in shadow Land of eternity, bitter winds blow Land of tormented souls With nowhere to go In this time of suffering In this hour of woe You may cast your spirit free Let it ride and let it flow River of serenity Moonlight casts no spell You might find your destiny You may find it safe and well Climb aboard this ship of fools Or linger in your bones Let the water lead the way River Styx and river's stones Tickets for the distant shore Watchers all around See the fire in their eyes See they never make a sound Climb aboard this ship of fools Or linger in your bones There's no fire in your eyes Silent and cold as stones Stolen coins rest on my eyes Boat sinking in tears of the living It's not my time, blind to death throws Who sailed who to this point? Fallen on my sword for you It's not my time, hero's dead inside Left behind the battle Lost heart in the fight, once more It's not my time, you'll never take me alive
