Charon, rock-ballads

[extended-intro]
[Instrumental solo, the slow rhythm of the guitar solo
is tense, sad, mournful, deep, ominous, pensive]


[Verse  solemn slow, the atmosphere of complete loneliness and absolute otherworldly silence ]

Charon in his creaking rowlock boat
Across the gloomy river in a blue mist,
What they call Styx
is the Kingdom of the Dead, in Hades,
in one end,
having taken a fare for
one obol,
he took another resident
to an eternal settlement in it...
Charon returns alone,
but his face is impassive,
does not express anything.

[Instrumental solo]

[Verse]
He was used to the fact that
it was too painful to feel every loss in his heart,
and no one, in fact, needed it here,
among the dead.
After all, everything happened somewhere out there,
in the World of the Living,
where there are joys and passions,
the pain of loss,
love to the grave,
betrayal, faithfulness to the word,
intrigue,
greed and bribery,
debauchery and lust,
diligence in work
or universal laziness is immeasurable,
everything nearby rubs against each other.
Everything is there and everything is from there!...

[Instrumental solo]


[Verse,  solemnly mysteriously]

And here Styx has dead water.
Waves roll in silence
and there are no sounds, no feelings,
There is absolutely Nothing,
here is the eternal Kingdom of Hades...
and Charon is his devoted employee.
Should he feel
something and not take care of his heart?
If you dare to touch
Charon's chest with your cold hand,
What is hidden in the stinking robe, 
it is unlikely that you will hear the slightest knock,
the beating of a living heart warmth
You won't feel it in the palm of your hand,

[Verse,   solemnly mysteriously  the Cathedral Catholic choir]

Nothing will betray
you in the midst of this
Eternal silence,
Nothing
and not a single sound
For Charon himself
is a ferryman.,
He's been dead
for a long time...
and therefore
silent....................

[Instrumental solo]

[Outro]
[Fade out]
[End].
