Midnight Odyssey – "Styx – Converge, Rivers of Hell"

At last, the tribute to Midnight Odyssey. This one took some time to make. Following the removal of this album, I decided I'd upload a lyric video of my own. I had tried a few more interesting integrations, it's not perfect, but I think it was worth the time. I know the jittering is a little exaggerated and the "rain" goes up and down!

Dis Pater is legendary.

Nine circles travelled
The boundary of the world.
Of waters blackened:
Converge, rivers of hell.

Amongst the yew trees –
A silent deadly path.
Of vapours poisoned –
Exhale, breath of life.

Oh, waters holy –
Of whom the gods swear oaths –
A binding promise –
No words can be undone.

A pact made to be broken:
The waters must be drunk.
Silent the god tongues,
Nine summers must pass.

Another nine years
Forced into exile.
From marble halls of grandeur –
The realm of Saturn's son.

For even he knows
An innocent request
Cannot be broken,
Can only end in death.

And through night's blackness,
The waters cold and dark,
Calmly down the cliff side,
Are swayed by jagged rock.

A realm unworldly,
Majestic silver swirls,
Immortal waters
Tide against the marsh.
The marsh...

A realm unworldly...
Majestic silver swirls...
Immortal waters...
Tide against the marsh...

The sun and eagle
Have known the water's ways.
One gave his chariot
And one – his self-revealed.

To swear upon them,
The silver stygian waves
Is cursed to regret
The fearful stream of hate.

Nine circles travelled
The boundary of the world.
Of waters blackened:
Converge, rivers of hell.
