Across the Dark River -

I take you on my vessel

And carry you across

This dark and raging river

To distant shores

This is your final journey

But don’t forget to pay

A coin under your tongue

Is enough for me

A ferryman’s fee

Those who cannot pay me

Will not reach their goal

They’ll forever wander

Aimlessly

Black rocks mark the shoreline

Of eternity

A place where you can enter

But never leave

The hound of hell awaits you

Three-headed is the beast

The guardian at the gates of

The underworld

Farewell my passenger

My work here is done

I leave you in the hands of

My master
