The Ferryman

[Intro]
Silent waters, endless night,
Charon's burden, silent plight.
Carrying shadows, stories untold,
His lonely voyage, brave and cold.

[Verse 1]
He stands on the shadowed boat, stern and stille,
Guarding the gateway where fates unravel.
Good souls whisper hope, bad ones seethe with regret,
Evil’s taint darker, never forgetting the debt.

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear their voices, old and new,
In his ears, dreams and gone through.
A ferry of stories, pain and grace,
Carrying burdens in the empty space.

[Chorus]
Oh ferry man, with silent tears,
Bridge of sorrow across the years.
Guiding the lost with a steady hand,
To the promised peace, the promised land.

[Verse 2]
He sees the tears, feels the fear,
Memories of lives shed each year.
Faint smiles or cries, stories in the air,
Each a burden, none to spare.

[Pre-Chorus]
Echoes of lives that fade and fade,
Silent witness to each trade.
In the darkness, ever bound,
A lonely soul, forever ground.

[Chorus]
Oh ferry man, with silent tears,
Bridge of sorrow across the years.
Guiding the lost with a steady hand,
To the promised peace, the promised land.

[Bridge]
One day, he yearns for final peace,
A quiet resting, sweet release.
His vigil ends when darkness falls,
No more stories, no more calls.

[Outro]
Now he rests beyond the ferry’s stream,
A peaceful end, a gentle dream.
No more burdens, no more cries,
Just silent waters, endless skies.
