Lyrics Charon - Symphony X

Charon

Through me you pass — just take my hand
The ferryman whispers my name
The course has been set — lord of the damned
To the banks, over river of pain
We rise and fall — with the tide
On through the gates, where shadows await
See the glimmer of gold in his eye
«The bridges have been burned — never to return»
Sail away — on the winds of Charon
Take me to the distant shore
Lead the way — on winds of Charon
By the Gods, I can’t ignore
The sight of his face — shrouded in death’s cold embrace
Through me you pass — to the lacrymose plains
Though my passage comes with a price
A sky without stars is all that remains
To the shores made of fire and ice
We rise and fall — with the tide
Just say the word — cause there’s no return
To the coast where the true power lies
«The bridges have been burned — never to return»
Sail away — on the winds of Charon
Take me to the distant shore
Lead the way — on winds of Charon
By the Gods, I can’t ignore
The sight of his face — shrouded in death’s cold embrace
