| Hades A coin for the ferryman As through Hades your lead No help for the souls Can’t pray for the dead! Cross the Styx River With the skeleton guide Then to be judged You’re at Pluto’s side! The bad to the cave Where they shall pay Insufferable torment Forever and a day The good to the place With the memory pool Watch over loved ones Forever and all And those who know not What they have done Are sent to the place Where they are at one By the mourners they left Are the festivals given Do the command of death For the sake of tradition |
