Pheonix
Our psychopomp plies his trade
Inciting us to be remade
Creatures, angels, deities
Deceased escorting entities
Anubis of ancient Egypt
Charon of the ancient Greek
Gods in Hermes, Mercury
Shield maidens of the Valkyrie
Spectral shifts and apparitions
Ghostly films in view
Spirit dreams and dispositions
The boatman's toll is due
From earth into the afterlife
Ferryboat by lantern light
Poling boat bone collector
Anthropomorphic specter
Spectral shifts and apparitions
Ghostly films in view
Spectral dreams and dispositions
The boatman's toll is due
Shivu, Vishnu, Ajamila
Zoroastrian Daema
Maiden of Chinvat bridge
Hag to never cross the ridge
Horses, dogs, sparrows, vultures
Ravens, owls in different cultures
Aztec and the Xoloti
Yama in the Hindu be
Spectral shifts and apparitions
Ghostly films in view
Spirit dreams and dispositions
The boatman's toll is due
On the mouth to place a coin
One on each eye to then rejoin
Who cannot pay the fee
Unburied to remain you see
On the shore to ever wander
Till worthy then to seek ponder
A journey to the netherworld
Or to hell your soul is whirled
The ferryman's soliloquy
Guiding souls to prophecy
Inciting us to be remade
Creatures, angels, deities
Deceased escorting entities
Anubis of ancient Egypt
Charon of the ancient Greek
Gods in Hermes, Mercury
Shield maidens of the Valkyrie
Spectral shifts and apparitions
Ghostly films in view
Spirit dreams and dispositions
The boatman's toll is due
From earth into the afterlife
Ferryboat by lantern light
Poling boat bone collector
Anthropomorphic specter
Spectral shifts and apparitions
Ghostly films in view
Spectral dreams and dispositions
The boatman's toll is due
Shivu, Vishnu, Ajamila
Zoroastrian Daema
Maiden of Chinvat bridge
Hag to never cross the ridge
Horses, dogs, sparrows, vultures
Ravens, owls in different cultures
Aztec and the Xoloti
Yama in the Hindu be
Spectral shifts and apparitions
Ghostly films in view
Spirit dreams and dispositions
The boatman's toll is due
On the mouth to place a coin
One on each eye to then rejoin
Who cannot pay the fee
Unburied to remain you see
On the shore to ever wander
Till worthy then to seek ponder
A journey to the netherworld
Or to hell your soul is whirled
The ferryman's soliloquy
Guiding souls to prophecy
