The Styx Songtext
von Ghostfire

Land of eternity, land of the low
Land of our fathers′ sins
Ever in shadow
Land of eternity, bitter winds blow
Land of tormented souls
With nowhere to go

In this time of suffering
In this hour of woe
You may cast your spirit free
Let it ride and let it flow
River of serenity
Moonlight casts no spell
You might find your destiny
You may find it safe and well


Climb aboard this ship of fools
Or linger in your bones
Let the water lead the way
River Styx and river's stones
Tickets for the distant shore
Watchers all around
See the fire in their eyes
See they never make a sound

Climb aboard this ship of fools
Or linger in your bones
There′s no fire in your eyes
Silent and cold as stones

Stolen coins rest on my eyes
Boat sinking in tears of the living
It's not my time, blind to death throws
Who sailed who to this point?
Fallen on my sword for you
It's not my time, hero′s dead inside
Left behind the battle
Lost heart in the fight, once more
It′s not my time, you'll never take me alive
