The River Styx is not for fishing Nor is it for skipping stones It is for weeping, wishing, and collecting polished bones One can float for hours Lulled to sleep by the ambience like a lullaby Until the waterfall drops to Tartarus The pit of unholy things mankind would deify There are the eternal towers Home to those frigid burning chains The ticklers and tormentors plan their artifice On it all like a fond memory the waterfall rains

The River Styx is not for fishing Nor is it for skipping stones It is for weeping, wishing, and collecting polished bones One can float for hours Lulled to sleep by the ambience like a lullaby Until the waterfall drops to Tartarus The pit of unholy things mankind would deify There are the eternal towers Home to those frigid burning chains The ticklers and tormentors plan their artifice On it all like a fond memory the waterfall rains
