Transversing The Tides Lyrics - Aurora Borealis

Do you wish to be, carried over sea 

To the banks beyond of the acheron 

Passage, is that what you seek 

Passage, admittance from me 

Obulus, that is what I seek 

Obulus, for you to proceed 

Passage, is that what you seek 

Passage, admittance from me 

Hermes bring them all to me, those who seek eternity 

Buried with the proper rites, thou shall suffice 

Breathing souls who wish to go present to me the golden bough 

Looking to the oracle, cumaean sibyl 

A hundred years you may find, a hundred years lost in time 

Cerebus not far behind, lingering on 

Do you wish to be, carried over sea 

To the banks beyond of the acheron 

Transverse the tides, listen for the cries 

Of the souls below, perhaps you will know 

Passage, do you still seek this 

Passage, assuming all the risks 

Obulus, does not ensure the cross 

Obulus, all you know may be lost 

Passage, do you still seek this 

Passage, assuming all the risks 

Precarious, uncertain premises 

Precarious, dependent on this 

Touch the water you shall know only sorrow 

Touch the water you shall feel only hate 

Touch t he water you shall see rancid plague 

Just, just one drop 

Touch the water you shall hear screaming souls 

Smell the water's sweet scent of wasted life 

Feel the water you shall burn, burn with fire 

Feel the water you shall drown in misery 

Just, just one drop
