The Ferryman

The Ferryman  
 
Death comes crawling
Slinking in when sometimes
We aren't prepared at all
Other times we welcome him
We rejoyce in his embrace
For to carry on
Would mean more anguish
I would prefer to stand proud
With my head held high
While the ferryman Charon  
Took me to the other side
And the Styx, it stank like hell  
The song says
"don't pay the ferryman  
Till he gets you to the other side"  
My debt is paid, I fear not
I go with eyes wide shut  
I shake hands with the devil
And step aboard the one way ferry
