When mortals have left the earth And they gather underground A ghost is what remains Waiting on the shores The vicious spectre appears With his black and rotten boat Your gold will clear the trip To the dark side of his realm
The final crossing is in sight Prepare the gold to reach the other side This is the end, meet your death Crossing the Styx, the river of black
Taken before the throne For a trial yet unknown The verdict over your life What will lie beyond God of the realm below Defines your certain fate Past becomes the future When his sentence has been made
Kneel for the gods Repent your sins What's your fate in the afterlife Eternal fire or slavery Or will you be a virtuous one
Kneel for the gods Repent your sins The dark depths of the underworld Or the way that leads to the Elysian fields It's your judgement day
The final crossing is in sight Prepare the gold to reach the other side This is the end, meet your death Crossing the Styx, the river of black
Taken before the throne For a trial yet unknown The verdict over your life What will lie beyond God of the realm below Defines your certain fate Past becomes the future When his sentence has been made
