Vegeance Is Mine

Ferry me across the river Styx
Into the realm of the dead
Charon won’t you take my danake?
Ferry me across the river Styx
Were the Judges await
To seal my faith

In Tartarus I do belong
For all I did was always wrong
In Hades eyes I stood out strong
My debt is paid now I move along

In hate and respite I lived my fears
Never loved through all my years
I was used and scared till I got old
Heroes are not always bold

Vengeance is mine
Justice divine
Pay for your crime
Now is your time!

Tempted by Medusa’s gaze
A shadow overwieghs my soul
Too much darkness drove my craze
As I console in death’s embrace.

Now the Furies I shall serve
Punish souls, crimes to avenge
Inflicting pain, famine, disease
Bringing criminals to their knees

Vengeance is mine
Justice divine
Pay for your crime
Now is your time!

With Nyx by my side
Hecate as my guide
With Thanatos I ride
You’ve got nowhere to hide
