Scarred upon my

Flesh, sign of the

Crossing a river black

An endless sea

Memory has

Silent turned

A glimpse of

Lantern, scroll and key

To cross the river styx

To see the center in its stillness

Feel the ghosts evaporate

And summon forth my retinue

Accompanied by Vanths

Pale is this path

Will unto the

Flame of

Living entities

Knowledge contained in

Death, black waters

Steal my past

And leave me empty

Empty

Accompanied by Vanths

I have been reborn

The river has washed me of what I once was, a hollow man, an empty man,

Now sanctified by the baptismic miasma

Cleansed free of the past that haunted me

But still I hear their whispers

As I am forever

Accompanied by Vanths
