Ferryman

How they revere you Holding on with every move you make Within the shadows Hides a monster they can't risk to wake On the journey to the other side Awaits the thing that hopes to find All the souls that still are left behind Caught crossing over Lost never to be found in life again Carry us away Through the gates of eternity Carry us away to the afterlife The afterlife Shape shifting, hollow Suspended in echoes endlessly Until the moment The hunter descends upon its prey Lost in abyss so threatening Amongst the lost and forgotten So close to finding salvation By crossing over Depths where horrors exist are found within Carry us away Through the gates of eternity Carry us away to the afterlife The afterlife Confident in morte eius Et tu transiri Dashing and turning Amongst the broken and twisted Evading capture As the beast is slowly closing in As life begins so it must end And the choices made live on herein Trust in death of him your Ferryman And you cross over Now the only way out - to trust in him Carry us away Through the gates of eternity Carry us away to the afterlife The afterlife Carry us away To the gates of infinity Carry us away to the afterlife The afterlife Life
