The Stygian Boat Song
by Byron Fenris

I have always heard there is a river
That you cross upon your final odyssey
And they say there is a boatman on this river
Who can ferry you to where you're s'posed to be

And though the tales paint you a picture
A hooded figure, gaunt and grim
Upon his whim, if you are worthy
You may get to hear him sing

Oh oh oh ohhhh
Shall we sail across the river?
You've passed on
But there is always more to come
Oh oh oh ohhhh
There is a far side to this river
Some will burn, and some enjoy what they have earned

Many faces I have ferried
Many souls my boat has carried
It is my task it is my duty
But in the act there is a beauty
You will go on
Perhaps I take you
To a new dawn

I have heard you need a coin to cross the river
Else you'll be stranded in a limbo on the shore
I haven't heard what use he might have for the money
It can't take much to keep the man in oars
He doesn't judge who's let upon his galley
Good or bad can ride with him
He will not speculate your destination
But you may hear him sing if that's his whim

Oh oh oh ohhhh
Shall we sail across the river?
You are gone
But you are not completely done
Oh oh oh ohhhh
There is a far side to this river
Some will burn, and some enjoy what they have earned

Many faces I have ferried
Nothing ends once you've been buried
It is my task it is my story
But in the act there is a glory
You will go on
Perhaps I take you
To a new dawn

And as you stand there a-waiting think on this
Yes as you hear his oars a-slapping in the mist
Life is just a fleeting dream and nothing more
Soon you will walk
A far-off shore!
