To the River Styx

So my final day has come
When everything will end
I could pray for mercy
Still I will not be spared

Now that nothing avails to save my life
I will bid farewell and greet my fate
From the light of day I shall break away
Shall leave this place for the realm of shades

I have lived my life till the very end
Why do I fear I might have missed so many things?

Nothing's as sure as death
It's a promise right from the start
All the same you'll never be prepared
When your time has come to go
Nothing's as sure as death
It's a promise right from the start
All the same you'll never be prepared
When your time has come to go
When my time has come...

To take my last breath
Before I'm gone for good
(Before I'm gone)
To look one last time
A glance to memorize
Before my eyes are covered with your coins

When the earth cracks open to receive me
In the distance I'll behold the darkling floods
At the waterside shall Charon wait to get his fee
His wish I will bestow for he must take me over

...Where...

I will have to part with my memories
Why do I fear it's too early to let go off life
Has my time even come...

To take my last breath
Before I'm gone for good
(Before I'm gone)
To look one last time
A glance to memorize
Before my eyes are covered with your coins

Nothing's as sure as death
It's a promise right from the start
All the same you'll never be prepared
When your time has come to go
Nothing's as sure as death
It's a promise right from the start
All the same you'll never be prepared
When your time has come to go
When my time has come...

Darkness surrounds me, to pull me under
A force too strong, there's no use to struggle
The ferryman welcomes me into his world
Accompanied by the moaning,
I make my way through the river

My time has come...
To take my last breath
Before I'm gone for good
(Before I'm gone)
To look one last time
A glance to memorize
Before my eyes are covered with your coins

There is no turning back
This path paved for all of us
(All of us)
But mine has come to an end
As I immerge

So I will join the band of the dead
