‘Cross The Styx

Relentlessly the traitor clock it ticks

To steal away the measure of his days

Till he is ferried screaming ‘cross the Styx

 

Yet while he bears the pain that life inflicts

And grits his teeth through every mortal phase

Relentlessly the traitor clock it ticks

 

He steers a passage through the politics

That try to trap him in their moiling maze

Till he is ferried screaming ‘cross the Styx

 

Although there’s setbacks waiting in the mix

That he will face and still give up his praise

Relentlessly the traitor clock it ticks

 

What dreams he’ll have, what nightmares playing tricks

Upon his troubled mind in countless ways

Till he is ferried screaming ‘cross the Styx

 

Then time will come to see what fate predicts

And find at last how much his conscience weighs

Relentlessly the traitor clock it ticks

Till he is ferried screaming ‘cross the Styx
