I've swam the River Styx
It's souls for an ocean
have tried to drag me down
And fuse with my battered and bruised being
But still, I persist
I've waded through Hades Halls
With more souls
bellowing to me day and night
Goading and telling me
"How far will I go?"
I am
Restless and broken
My bones in my arms are no longer bone
but Stone
A price that was paid
But still, I carry on
Hades sees me and stops me
"Rest, rest,go no further!" They roar
I carry on
And they spit at me with distaste
"I will see you soon" they say
I dare not look upon their face
I have travelled through ages
Good and bad
My legs are now more tortoise than hare
But I see it
Just over yonder
"There it is!" I cry
And I falter
"I told you to rest" they say
And I listen
It will have to wait
For one more day...
