The ferryman

Şarkı Sözleri

Cold fog crawls over black glass waves, Whispers got my name carved into graves. Boots hit wood with a hollow "thud," Moonlight dripping like it tastes of blood. I hear chains sing underneath the tide, Something in the dark keeps pace beside. Every breath feels borrowed, every prayer frays thin, The river don't care where you've been. I see a silhouette holding out his hand, No face, just shadows where a man should stand. He don't scream, don't threaten, don't lie— Just points to the boat with an empty eye. Pre-Chorus Don't blink. Don't breathe. He's already counting what's left of me. Chorus I'm riding with the Ferryman, Pull me under if you know I can. No salvation, no promised land, Only echoes in the Ferryman's hands. Sink... don't swim. Hope wears thin. Pay the price for the life I've been. When the river calls, I answer again— I'm just another soul for the Ferryman. Verse 2 (Rap) Heartbeat kick like a war drum blast, Every bad decision coming back fast. Skeleton trees got their fingers in the sky, Watching every secret that I tried to deny. No receipt for the debt I owe, Current pulls everywhere I go. Voice in my head saying, "Turn around," But the boat keeps floating without a sound. Eyes in the water, teeth in the rain, Memory cuts like a rusted chain. Running from ghosts only made them grow, Now they're all rowing where I gotta go. Bridge He smiles without a mouth... The river opens wide. I hear my own voice calling From the other side. One more breath... One more lie... Everybody pays when it's time to die. Final Chorus I'm riding with the Ferryman, Ash to ash in a dead man's land. Can't wake up from the nightmare skin, The river always lets the darkness in. Break these chains— Or drag me down. Let the silence be the only sound. When the water swallows who I've been... I'll become the shadow beside the Ferryman.
