The Bargaining

Tearful tunes enchant the ferryman
Even though he has no heart
From this shore embark to find her soul
Where no living man has gone before

It seems that you've lost you're way from above
How dare you enter my black chamber
You may have suspended the tortures of the damned
But your voice has no power over me

Dark ruler of the throne
To whom all we who live must come
I've come to seek my bride
Who long before her time has died

Without her I won't love
You fell in love once I believe
Hear me and sense my pain
These words of truth I sing in vain

Tearful tunes enchant the ferryman
Even though he has no heart
From this shore embark to find her soul
Where no living man has gone before

Mortal you can take back her soul
But only on one condition
Your steps will guide her along the way

You must not gaze upon her before sunlight
Now leave this place and don't look back

Dark ruler of the throne
To whom all we who live must come
I've come to seek my bride
Who long before her time has died

Without her I won't love
You fell in love once I believe
Hear me and sense my pain
These words of truth I sing in vain

I've come to seek my bride
Who long before her time has died

Without her I won't love
You fell in love once I believe
Hear me and sense my pain
These words of truth I sing in vain
