Charon Lyrics by Symphony X

Underworld

2015

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Through me you pass, just take my hand
The ferryman whispers my name
The course has been set, lord of the damned
To the banks, over river of pain

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We rise and fall with the tide
On through the gates, where shadows await
See the glimmer of gold in his eye

"The bridges have been burned never to return"

[Chorus]
Sail away on the winds of Charon
Take me to the distant shore
Lead the way on winds of Charon
By the Gods, I can't ignore
The sight of his face shrouded in death's cold embrace

[Verse 2]
Through me you pass to the lachrymose plains
Though my passage comes with a price
A sky without stars is all that remains
To the shores made of fire and ice

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We rise and fall with the tide
Just say the word 'cause there's no return
To the coast where the true power lies

"The bridges have been burned never to return"

[Chorus]
Sail away on the winds of Charon
Take me to the distant shore
Lead the way on winds of Charon
By the Gods, I can't ignore
The sight of his face shrouded in death's cold embrace

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Sail away on the winds of Charon
Take me to the distant shore
Lead the way on winds of Charon
By the Gods, I can't ignore
The sight of his face shrouded in death's cold embrace

[Instrumental Outro]
