[Music: Davidson, lyrics: Davidson]
A life extinguished in its prime,
Summoned by the bell's strident chime.
A bemoaning family laments,
An Obolus the payment for a life that has been spent.
Silent and stiff,
In rigor mortis' grip.
[Chorus:]
The die is cast,
How quickly one's time can elapse,
The ferryman will take you on your way.
The coin's been pa**ed,
Empty is your hourgla**,
In a lightless chamber, the cold slab awaits.
Stained sheets, the darkest shade of crimson,
Bloated by the onset of decomposition.
No one will mourn over his d**h,
An Obol forced inside your mouth before your final breath.
Silent and stiff,
No tears shed for a life now forfeit.
[Chorus]
[Solo: Davidson]
A debt owed to the grave,
A debt we all must pay.
