Across the Gray Waters - Adramelech

Through the gray waters of Styx

A ferryman steers his boat

Charon the carrier of souls

Approaches the twilight bank

On the bank there’s a shape

The god Hermes

With the dead souls he’s waiting

Charon to carry them to Hades

Charon takes the souls

To their afterlife

Beyond the dark gray waters

To the world of god Hades

The gates leading to afterworld

Guarded by Cerberus

No soul could return to life

No soul could pass this three-headed dog

Through the gates they arrive

To the terminal of their paths

Erinyids vigilant eyes

Watching them with hate

Forgive me the sins I’ve done

Forgive me the lies I’ve told

Erinyids have no feelings

Filthy souls shall suffer

Those merciless beasts

Lurking for the lost
