Leaving a soft illusion
Calms this last confusion
Dark nightingale wings
Untie the last strings

Crystal stream bears
The ferryman's boat
Twenty-one grams
Heavy burden to tote

Sailing this brim tide
The Styx brings you home
You realize at last
You were never alone

Distant shore breached
In a constant refrain
Ghost music echoes
Where the clouds never rain

The weight of the world
Hefty twenty-one grams
The weight of your soul
Wherever it lands
