Lyrics Charon - Set Before Us

Charon

I can hear the ocean calling me home, and the undertow pulling me below
Skin and bone, will I turn to salt and stone as the waves of eternity crashes
over me?
Give my body and soul to the unknown, bury me, lay me to rest
My body will be returned to earth
The circle closes, my prize is payed
The seasons end, is this peace?
Piece by piece, stone by ston
What is beyond, what is below?
This silence speaks a foreign tongue, a void, a prison, a tomb
Ashes and dust, angels hymn as the curtain falls
A final show, a last goodbye
This song speaks in a familiar tone, a portrait, a reflection, a last note
Piece by piece, stone by stone
What is beyond, what is below?
Beat by beat, step by step What is beyond, what is below?
My body will be returned to earth
The circle closes, my prize is payed
The seasons end, is this peace?
Piece by piece, stone by stone
What is beyond, what is below?
Will I pay a coin in toll or wander the shores for a century or more?
Are these gates concealing fire and smoke, or angels and gold?
We always try to find answers of what we don’t know
We always try to find reason in what we don’t know
My body will be returned to earth
The circle closes, my prize is payed
The seasons end, is this peace?
Piece by piece, stone by stone
What is beyond, what is below?
My body will be returned to earth
(I am a passenger upon rivers unknown)
The circle closes, my prize is payed
(I am bound for a vortex with no shore)
The seasons end, is this peace?
(What awaits this vessel at its final port?)
Piece by piece, stone by stone
(A coin in hand)
What is beyond, what is below?
(And nowhere to go)
I am the Alpha and the Omega
The First and the Last
The Beginning and the End
