Embracing The Styx |
| Blood runs free, down the river |
| I’m the weeper, the life bereaver |
| I cross the Styx with coins of onyx |
| Without the trumpets and horns and pyres |
| Embracing the Styx |
| Life is floating out, wave after wave |
| Embracing the Styx |
| I sail with Charon, this day |
| Embracing the Styx |
| Life is floating out, wave after wave |
| Embracing the Styx |
| Me, my wrists, and a blade |
| The final curtain, death is certain |
| Harpies sing, my soul is hurting |
| Razors, rope, mountains of dope |
| Does it matter? |
| There’s no hope |
| Embracing the Styx |
| Life is floating out, wave after wave |
| Embracing the Styx |
| I sail with Charon this day |
| Embracing the Styx |
| Life is floating out, wave after wave |
| Embracing the Styx |
| Me, my wrists, and a blade |
| In times of eternal darkness |
| In times of peace and embrace |
| When the minstrel of atrophy mock us |
| There’s need for love and there’s need for death |
| Too late for understanding |
| Too late for your tears |
| I wait for the last descending |
| To the opal city and the flaming stairs |
| I surrender, I return to dust |
| It must end here, in daze and dusk |
| So I cry, for all of us |
| And I smile as I die |
| As I die |
| A small breeze in time |
| A small breeze in time |
| Embracing the Styx |
| Life is floating out, wave after wave |
| Embracing the Styx |
| I sail with Charon this day |
| Embracing the Styx |
| Life is floating out, wave after wave |
| Embracing the Styx |
| Me, my wrists, and a blade |
| Waiting and waiting |
| For a moment of truth and a sun |
| Dreaming and dreaming |
| 'Til the dreams were crushed by our hands |
| Great thoughts of a triumphing giant |
| Was given these golden-brown wings |
| A man who was an ant and a lion |
| Died on the isle of the king |
