Charon - Spartan

Have you ever taken a trip

Across the river Styx?

Where Charon is the boatman

Who will take you across

For two silver coins

He’ll row you to Hades

He guides the fallen ones

The warriors who died

When the battle is nigh you must fight to survive

It’s what you’ve been training for all of your life

Your blade faintly glows by the moon’s pallid light

And the blood of your foes paints the skies red tonight

With a cry that chills bone, your sword finds its mark

You look back to find more dangers in the dark

«To live by the sword, is to die by the sword»

With a stab in the chest, you’ll be gone from this world

Now, when everything grows cold

You remember what you were told

On the riverside you wait

Until the boatman can be paid

And when the air is still

You feel the deathly chill

Beyond the distant gates

Your resting place awaits

And when it all goes black

There is no coming back

The ending of your tale

When Charon’s boat sets sail

He rows the boat to the other side

Take the trip to your afterlife

Your final journey where Hades exists

Across the river called the Styx

A new day is here, let the battle resume

Another legion of men who will meet their doom

All the souls of the fallen the boatman shall guide

The shores of the Styx will be crowded tonight

He rows the boat to the other side

Take the trip to your afterlife

Your final journey, where Hades exists

Across the river called the Styx.
