Styx

Styx river! Take me when I bleed.
Your stream will have to kill my pain.
I know your waters are all I need.
I feel your beauty every day.

Your waters are so deep and cold.
The stream will whisper me my play.
The destiny is what you hold.
This is the mortal's finest way.

       [Chorus:]
       A flame will be eternal.
       The flame has burnt past days.
       This flame await the mortals.
       It knows my true name.
       
       <female vocal>(//male)
       Your /My/ name
       is being whispered tonight,
       Saving a touch of the last light.
       It's here.
       The curtain's closing down.
       Your /My/ fear has gone
       with the falling sun.
       </female vocal>
       
This cavern's wind will blow the dirt,
Dried to the rest of human filth
Into the flame where elders lived.
This is the end of lands and seas.

Surrounded by the cavern's stones,
I'll take a part in Reapers' game.
You'll save me from the poisoned thorns
Of a black rose to light the flame.

       [Chorus]

The river is deeper than the sky.
Its waters cleared my memories.
Forgotten in the cavern's night,
I know the only name. It's Styx.

I see the only flower here.
Its petals coloured into black.
I've seen a rose, that disappeared.
But poisoned thorns will have to come.
       Come back!

       [Chorus]

Take me away from a mortals' dust,
The stream of lost eternity.
I lived enough in a heart of dusk
To leave the dark, surrounding me.

I'll take a boat to Lorien
And river will have brought me there.
These lands, where heroes proudly stand,
I'll clearly see before the end.
