Acheron

Through the brooding darkness
Fight against the tide
Slowly moving upstream
Towards the morning light

Dark is the water
Dark the misty air
Darker still my heart
That shivers in the breeze

Deceiving death itself
I travelled this far
Deep into the twilight world
To the silent halls

Where the dead still wait
Linger in the dusk
I came to mend my soul
Redeem my precious one

Cruel is the fate here, pitiless the death
Stole my sun and moon, stole my cherished one
Took it from my arms and buried in the shades

Deceiving death itself
I travelled this far
Deep into the twilight world
To the silent halls

Where the dead still wait
Linger in the dusk
I came to mend my soul
Redeem my precious one

And suddenly before me the black waters stir
And the beast, it rises

The guardian awakes
The menacing darkness
And the river roils
And winds they howl

Hurled into the shore
Cast on the treacherous stones
I surge into the dark
Sheltering my fragile son

Deceiving death itself
I travelled this far
Deep into the twilight world
To the silent halls

Where the dead still wait
Deluding the bitter fate
I travelled deep
To fetch my poor son
Reverse the tides
Bring back my dearest one

Bring back the one
