A soul breaks free from a corpse The journey begins to the end of the Earth A realm invisible in human form A greedy god's kingdom of the dead A dying wish of coins on lips To pay the fair or forever be trapped between worlds Spirits of the dead passing one-way to the underworld Acheron, river of pain Cocytus, river of lamentation Phlegethon, river of fire Styx, river of hatred Lethe, river of oblivion Alone he stands at the gates Watching ferryman drifting in He who enters cannot escape A thirst for souls from flesh stripping heads Kneel and be judged; eternal fate Frozen in time skeletons roams weightless The living shall not enter here He sees the past, present and future
