Here, the slight souls hang around and scream like bats in condemnation I listen to their desperate sound In the floods of devastation
This is the land called Tartaros where I wandered through the mire Chased by visions, grief and loss Across the fields of death and fire
River of Perdition, With my harp I sing this song for you! Oh River Styx, don't you hear my words? River of Perdition, Without harm let me pass through! Oh River Styx, I want to fly like the birds
The river washes our souls away Into greedy Hades, which I detest Heroes and fools shall be an equal prey For hungry waters streaming west
Athirst for spirits, flesh and skin A watery movie scene is all I see Relights the mirror deep within and conducts my dim memory
