Symphony X Lyrics
"Charon"

Through me you pass, just take my hand
The ferryman whispers my name
The course has been set
Oh lord of the damned
To the banks over rivers 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
From 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

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
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
