Pay the Ferryman

Laying you to rest has never been easy

Leaving you where you belong gets easier everyday

One step forward

Followed by two and three

I remember when you carved us into that tree

It will grow and die as is the cycle

Filled with lies and deceit

You tossed and burned all we were

Those marks are the only remnants of what used to be

I am like that tree

You cared marks in me

That only with time will deal and disappear

I can feel you as you lay there

Helpless, defenseless and all too easy to destroy

Paying penance for the harm you've caused

I'm a thousand miles away

You're in the last place you ever wanted to be

With only yourself to blame as  you've made your own cage

Inside that mind so filled with filthy illusions

And some you've managed to fool

But not me

I see you for who you are

I see you for what you are

I leave you as you are

As the end draws near

A reaper creeping closer

Kharon won't be accepting the standard price

A dankake over your lips will not suffice

A piece over your mouth for your maniplulative tongue

A single over each eye for those you failed to see

A stack over your silent heart

I pray that pay the ferryman, send you on your away

Far enough that next time around you'll remember 

Damage once done

Finally learn your lesson

For I am as old as Time they say

If I cannot teach your heart

Become the essence of Life

Be reborn to that tree

Give us breaht of new life

Give shelter and bring hate to none

This I will leave to those above me

Because after all, I'm just here to pay the ferryman
