Styx - Converge, Rivers of Hell Lyrics

Nine circles travelled
The boundary of the world
Of waters blackened
Converge, rivers of hell
Amongst the yew trees
A silent deathly path
Of vapours poisoned
Exhale, breath of life

Oh waters holy
Of whom the gods swear oaths
A binding promise
No words can be undone

A pact made to be broken
The waters must be drunk
Silent the god tongues
Nine long summers must pass

Another nine years
Forced into exile
From marble halls of grandeur
The realm of Saturn's Son
For even he knows
An innocent request
Cannot be broken
Can only end in death

And through night's blackness
The waters cold and dark
Calmly down the cliff side
Are swayed by jagged rock

A realm unworldly
Majestic silver swirls
Immortal waters
Tide against the marsh
The sun and eagle
Have known the water's ways
One gave his chariot
And one - His self revealed

To swear upon them
The silver slygian waves
Is cursed to regret
The fearful stream of hate

Nine circles travelled
The boundary of the world
Of waters blackened
Converge, rivers of hell
