Across This River

[Verse 1]
You're crossing over
You're going under
You three fools made a bad blunder
'cause Hades is the boss
No one steals his Thunder
Don't be so naive...

[Verse 2]
Crossing the Styx is how I get my kicks
It's a permanent trip, so
Don't try no tricks
You'll be dancing with the dead
Thrown into the mix
So don't waste time trying to grieve...

[Pre-Chorus]
Did I mention
You can't ever leave?

[Chorus]
Across this river
Ain't nobody going back
Across this river
It's a one-way track
He's more of a taker
Less of a giver
That mean old boss
Across This River
River

[Bridge]
And I know what you're thinking now
Thinkin' "I can escape somehow" (somehow)
Like Orpheus, you'll try to skedaddle
But you're up a creek without a paddle
So settle in, you'll be here for a while
At least you're going out in style

Across this river...
Across this river...

[Instrumental with vocalization]

Who knows what Hades has in store
Across this river and here forever more?
