Charon...in Greek myth ferryman of the underworld
who carried souls across the river Styx for payment
The call of the wolf haunts the night
when the full moon rises
between the realms of nightmares and dreams
where souls are gathered
in dark fields of stone and fireflies
where fairies dart around
and shadowed goblins hide
this place of the dead
where ghosts abound
and whispers of the forgotten
are heard on the full moon
for they couldn't pay Charon
and now wander
on the banks of the river Styx
waiting in hell
until they pay the ferryman
with time or coin
only then may they take Charon's ferryboat
and cross the river
into the never realm of eternity
