Who will place two coins on my eyes
Down the river Styx
My shade must glide
Two coins for the boatman
Ferry me away
To the throne of beautiful Persephone
Snatched from light of day
Two coins I cry
Two coins for my eyes
Through dark waters I float
To where my body must lie
Two coins for Charon
Always silent looks away
Never seeing a face
Or the light of day
Two coins
