[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Through me you pass, just take my hand
The ferryman whispers my name
The course has been set, oh, lord of the damned
To the banks, over river of pain
Ooh, we rise and fall with the tide
On through the gates, where shadows await
See the glimmer of gold in his eye
[Pre-Chorus]
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, oh, winds of Charon
By the Gods, I can't ignore
The sight of his face shrouded in death's cold embrace, oh
[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
Ooh, we rise and fall with the tide
Just say the word 'cause there's no return
To the coast where the true power lies
[Pre-Chorus]
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, oh winds of Charon
By the Gods, I can't ignore
The sight of his face shrouded in death's cold embrace
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Keyboard Solo]
[Chorus]
Sail away on the winds of Charon
Take me to the distant shore
Lead the way, oh winds of Charon
By the Gods, I can't ignore
Sail away on the winds of Charon
Take me to the distant shore
Lead the way, oh winds of Charon
By the Gods, I can't ignore
The sight of his face shrouded in death's cold embrace, oh
Ooh, ooh
