Charon

The shadows cast upon the wall
And every fear now becomes real.
The night-time holds a whispering wind
Promising pain, now hinting death.
The limbs of trees brush window panes
Etching my name, my time is near.
I hear a voice inside my room.
It's voice is dark with ill intent.
A demon's eye has caught my view.
His finger points, his will now known.

"Tonight sweet death has come for you,
You foolish child of heaven's light.
Escape a fate that's clear in view?
Dream not. For dreams are foolish things.
The Stygian streams await your soul
And now, with me, you must follow."

His horrid hand reached out to mine
To take my soul to lands of death.
Now to Hades, I must remain
To never see the light of day.
The souls now pass with horrid cries,
Their destination, newly known.
The ghastly sounds and endless dark
Will break my soul, eternally.
In this abyss, for all of time,
I carry on without a hope.
