As I chased a ghost from a feverish dream I got lost as I fled from the sun Through an endless night, I walked alone The last hope I had clung to was gone And the wind, and the trees, and the birds in the sky Had all become silent as death From the ground rose a foreboding smell And a fog appeared to ascend Then I froze in my tracks and looked up When I realized that this is the place where I die ♪ Into the river I stepped and bade This age one last goodbye ♪ (May I drift away on Acheron's swirls) (May my body be one with the earth again) (As I traveled from world to world) The black water so cold to my skin As I sigh and exhale my last breath My lungs are ash, my mind is void Now I'm waiting for death ♪ To the unknown waters ahead ♪ Now as I sink I look up to the surface And oh, what a sight to behold! ♪ Blessed be the unfortunate ones That hear this dirge of a dying soul
