Embracing the Styx

Blood runs free, down the river
 I'm the weeper, the life beriever
 I cross the Styx, with coins of onyx
 Without the trumphets and horns and pyres
 Embracing the Styx
 Life is floating out, wave after wave
 Embracing the Styx
 I sail with Charon this day
 Embracing the Styx
 Life is floating out, wave after wave
 Embracing the Styx
 Me, my wrists and a blade
 ♪
 The final curtain, death is certain
 Harpy's sing, my soul is hurting
 Razors, rope, mountains of dope
 Does it matter, there's no hope
 Embracing the styx
 Life is floating out, wave after wave
 Embracing the styx
 I sail with Charon this day
 Embracing the styx
 Life is floating out, wave after wave
 Embracing the styx
 Me, my wrists and a blade
 ♪
 In times of eternal darkness
 In times of peace and embrace
 When the minstrel of atrophy mock us
 There's need for love and there's need for death
 Too late for understanding
 Too late for your tears
 I wait for the last descending
 To the opal city and the flaming stairs
 ♪
 I surrender, return to dust
 It must end here, in daze and dusk
 So I cry, for all of us
 And I smile, as I die, as I die
 A small breeze in time, a small breeze in time
 Embracing the styx
 Life is floating out, wave after wave
 Embracing the styx
 I sail with Charon this day
 Embracing the styx
 Life is floating out, wave after wave
 Embracing the styx
 Me, my wrists and a blade
 Waiting and waiting, for a moment of truth and a sun
 Dreaming and dreaming, 'til the dreams were crushed by our hands
 Great thoughts of a triumphing giant
 Was given these golden-brown wings
 A man who was an ant an a lion
 Died on the isle of the king
