lyrics

Give your coin to the river-man

Send me on my way (x2)

[Spoken]
If it is hell that you seek: I am the passage
If you want out of this life, dissatisfied with existence:

I am the key, turn me in the lock and watch the flood pour in
I want to be struck by leprosy, so the outside feels like within

In the twilight of my days
I hope at some point I was happy
Cause every day it seems to rain
And every morning is sobering
There's a cloud that's circling
There's a fog about my vision
When all my days are behind me
Was I ever worth anything?

Follow the river bed till you find a nice spot to rest your head
With the rocks as my pillow I bash my skull in and lay me down to sleep
Life is a light in a pitch-black void that only grows dimmer until it fades
Here we are in a world unknown; forever dust, forever unborn

There's a shadow growing in my mind, its roots are planted deep
I want to be suffocated by hurricane winds

“Come Juno, feast upon my death;
feast on me, cruel one, look down from your exalted seat;
behold my dreadful end and glut your savage heart!”

Birth, the nihilist
I bore the cancerous
Birth, the pessimist
I bore the nihilist

Follow the river bed till you find a nice spot to rest your head
With the rocks as my pillow I bash my skull in and lay me down to sleep
Life is a light in a pitch-black void that only grows dimmer until it fades
Here we are in a world unknown; forever unborn

Give your coin to the river-man

Take my dormant heart
Take me in your arms
Cleanse my lungs with water
Cleanse my skin with arson
Send your coldest flood and make sure I don't survive
Send your infernos and melt away my very bones
Send me to the ferryman

Send me on my way (x2)

Give my coin to the river-man (send me on my way)
Send my soul to the ferryman (send me on my way)
