Across the Gray Waters

Through the gray waters of Styx
A ferryman steers his boat
Charon the carrier of souls
Approaches the twilight bank
On the bank there’s a shape
The god Hermes
With the dead souls he’s waiting
Charon to carry them to Hades
Charon takes the souls
To their afterlife
Beyond the dark gray waters
To the world of god Hades
The gates leading to afterworld
Guarded by Cerberus
No soul could return to life
No soul could pass this three-headed dog
Through the gates they arrive
To the terminal of their paths
Erinyids vigilant eyes
Watching them with hate
Forgive me the sins I’ve done
Forgive me the lies I’ve told
Erinyids have no feelings
Filthy souls shall suffer
Those merciless beasts
Lurking for the lost
