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.
