He carries day by day All the deceased souls Across the river Styx From earth to underworld It's harsh and attritional His everlasting task He's your ferryman And the end of your past He convoys you Into the World of the dead World of the dead The daily structured course fades away All the enjoyments seem astray Dolorous incidents determine the day This is the end of begging and praying No time to breathe - Charon scatters decease No time to rest - Charon wants you dead Charon wants your death Charon steals your breath Charon, it's Charon This is murder paradise These are your darkest nights Charon, it's Charon Another day, another year No salvation will appear The daily structured course fades away All the enjoyments seem astray Dolorous incidents determine the day This is the end of begging and praying Takes you into the world of the dead
