Septicflesh
Dark River
[Verse 1]
Can you pay the fair?
Open your mouth and spit the buried coin
The boat is ready to sail
Step inside, I am the ferryman

[Refrain]
We'll sail the river of woe
The dark river, dark river
On its brink is the end of hope
The dark river, Acheron

[Chorus]
And a wind blew cold
Like the breath of a dying man
And the waters spawned sounds
From the motion of slimy reptile tongues

[Verse 2]
My guests are many and they won't leave
This peaceful place of fading screams
Eyes shut, gaze mesmerized
At the circular form of zero

[Refrain]
They sailed the river of woe
Dark river, dark river
They found the end of hope
A dark river, dark river
They found the end of hope
The dark river, Acheron

[Chorus]
On tunnels underground
Chthonian deities mock
The icons that turned blank
The shades of the once beautiful
[Chorus]
Can you pay the fair?
Open your mouth and spit the buried coin
The boat is ready to sail
Step inside, I am the ferryman

[Outro]
Acheron
Acheron
Dark river
Acheron
