lyrics

The Ferryman’s Lair


Death is his life
He kills the innocent for his own need
The end of his knife
Is stained with the blood of a forgotten creed
Running alone
Living his life in sincerity
The end of a throne
Satisfies his need for security

Many men before, in their foolish youth
Have tried to mislead the ferryman
To pass the cold waters, with reason uncouth
They tried to play him a merryman

From a forgotten land
He rules the waters to eternity
His bony hand
Is ridden with the blood of his daring prey
He works for a god
And a devil as well
But oh! Watch him nod
As you enter his hell!

Many men before, in their foolish youth
Have tried to mislead the ferryman
To pass the cold waters, with reason uncouth
They tried to play him a merryman

He peers out from his hood
Laughing aloud as you step in his lair
His black ugly hood
Stares into souls as he asks for his fare

But take care, foolish passenger
Please beware of the ferryman

Many men before, in their foolish youth
Have tried to mislead the ferryman
To pass the cold waters, with reason uncouth
They tried to play him a merryman
