lyrics

CHARON
YOU’RE SAILING INTO THE MOUTH OF A LION
MORE THE FOOL, MORE THE FOOL
YOU’VE JUST BOUGHT A ONE WAY TICKET.
FIRST I FERRY YOU, THEN HELL BURIES YOU
DON’T EXPECT MY SHOULDER TO CRY ON
FATE IS CRUEL, AS A RULE
YOU’RE ONE MORE TREE FOR THE THICKET
CAN’T SAVE YOU FOR I’VE SOLD MY SOUL TOO.

PAY THE DEVIL'S PORTER.
CROSS MY PALM TO CROSS THE WATER.
CERBERUS CAN’T WAIT TO SEAL YOUR FATE.
UPON THE FAR BANK PROWLING,
D’YOU HEAR THE HELLHOUND GROWLING?
IT'S LIVING FLESH HE'S AFTER.
HIS THREE HEADS HOWL WITH LAUGHTER!

I'LL RAISE A LARGE MARTINI.
I MEAN A LARGE MARTINI.
STOW A HEART OF STONE AND RIDE THE WAVE.
TO PITY IS TO SHIVER,
BETTER TO FACE UPRIVER
AND TOAST THE FOOLISH BRAVE.

ROLL ON, UPHOLD US RIVER
SNAKEBRIGHT, UNCOILING RIVER
SHORE TO SHORE, TWIXT DESTINY AND FATE
THE SADIST HADES BECKONS
IT’S RECKONING DAY HE RECKONS
IN PRAISE, WITH HANDS A-CALLOUSED
I RAISE THEE ONE LAST CHALICE

I'LL POUR A LARGE MARTINI
I MEAN A LARGE MARTINI
TO FATE THAT CAN’T BE CHANGED
FOREVER I’LL DELIVER, AND NEVER CRY A RIVER
AND PUSH THE BOAT AWAY
FOREVER I’LL DELIVER, AND NEVER CRY A RIVER
AND PUSH THE BOAT AWAY!
