Rifftera - Across the Acheron

Together we've gathered
all the shattered haggard souls
we lost the battle
against each other
the truth unfolds

we thought we were perfect
righteous heroes
but we were wrong
the ones we blamed
were reflections of our own

how we hated our shadow
and stayed hiding in the dark
how the twisted reflection
was the one who tore us apart
we were torn apart
now we are done for
oh god, we are done for

slowly we glide across the acheron
this is our swan song
now we're heading to a place
where we belong
the lifelong mortal enemies
together on their knees
begging for one more chance to seize
and we glide across the acheron

the burning sky above us
lights our way on judgement day
when we sail down the river
river that takes us away
we leave the ruins behind
ruins of our paradise
ash falls from the sky
when we head to never-ending night

and the flow takes us further
towards the jaws of beast
the distant roar gets louder
so this is how we cease to exist
you may think that you are better
but you better accept your fate
we are in this boat together
so when i go down
you go down with me

slowly we glide across the acheron
this is our swan song
now we're heading to a place
where we belong
the lifelong mortal enemies
together on their knees
begging for one more chance to seize
and we glide across the acheron

the ship is loaded with liars
the ship is loaded with impostors
the ship is loaded with self-seekers
like you and me
the ship is loaded with conceited
the ship is loaded with virulent
the ship is loaded with resentment
full to the brim

across the acheron
