a deadly song is coming
meet the sound of waves
the blind wizard
stands on the highest rock
remembers all that's seen
and makes pessimistic prophecies
these are his latest hours
in the mortal world
atheron charon's beloved child
comes singing the march
the sun, the water, the land
the old man loses his sense
after the bright light
a yound soul released
an old body floating on the sea
the poorest side of the universe
among wild horizons
you'll feel the immortality
you'll step on the opposite bank
a body became a prison
an eternal soul
come to me
you will be able
you go everywhere
you see everything(The | means a new measure and the / means the bass note on the current chord.)

verse:
Frozen fingers at the keyboard
Could this be the big reward
No, no answer came
Brought up everybody to see for themselves
They wouldn't believe it from no one else
No, nobody could explain
