"How long is the ride to the other side? Four-dozen weeks, I've heard some say... give or take a day." When to adjourn the sojourn Differs from being to being That is to say, the journey to Hades varies Does Hermes show us the way Does Charon expect some pay Even reaching the other side Doesn't mean we've landed Where we want to reside We might find ourselves stranded That's right... Cerberus' six eyes starring at us What if all that our effort yields Are the Asphodel Fields (Because we neglected to cut the deal... for the Elysian Fields) So, does our journey really end If we do not transcend Many a tail has been told about the underworld But, this is the most important part of what's been unfurled Don't' wait to be deceased to heed the advice that saved Euridice Orpheus holds the key for us -- Singing so sweetly... he was allowed to pass easily Do it before our death Do it while we have breath Sing sweetly all of our life so that our afterlife is rife With the delectable breezes of Zephyr If we're able let's rid our fable of fear And, hold dear what has been made clear Sing loud enough to block out Sirens Sing sweet enough to make all friends If in our definition there is a final destination Then, we shall see how our trip ends How long on The River Styx How long being betwixt How betwixted a being How soul freeing?
