Facing the Shores of Hades

Shores
Lost and forgotten, listen to this cry in despair
Slow, gliding through the mist, this vile river, stealer of breath
My fate’s obscurity finally revealed as we reach the shores of Hades
Is this an omen of what lies ahead?
Let the nether be known
Slow, gliding through the mist, this vile river, stealer of breath
Your fate’s obscurity finally revealed as we reach the shores of Hades
Let the nether be known
Charon?! The white shores are calling out
Charon! I fall to my knees and crawl, drag, grind
My soul through these sands
Gazing upon this fathomless realm
Facing the shores of Hades
Standing at the gates
Creature serpent tailed
Those who pass, shall never return
Passing fields of immortal flesh
PAIN
Passing fields of immortal flesh
