歌词
[Verse 1]
In Sumer's land, where time stands still, where ancient rivers flow
There walked a figure, stern and grand, with wisdom's sacred glow
For gods and men he labored, as ferryman of the dead
He was Nungal, the ferryman, with knowledge full and dread
[Chorus]
O Nungal, ferryman of yore
O Nungal, keeper evermore
O Nungal, guardian of shades
O Nungal, where the river fades
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
He sailed upon the Styx's stream, that river of the dead
Through waters dark, he did redeem the souls that were misled
He bore their weight, their hopes, their fears, unto the shadowed gate
He was Nungal, the ferryman, the keeper of their fate
[Chorus]
O Nungal, ferryman of yore
O Nungal, keeper evermore
O Nungal, guardian of shades
O Nungal, where the river fades
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
A guardian of the silent dead, the ferryman most wise
He led them to their final bed, beneath the starlit skies
He was Nungal, the ferryman, with eyes that pierced the night
He bore the souls to twilight lands, beyond the realm of light
[Chorus]
O Nungal, ferryman of yore
O Nungal, keeper evermore
O Nungal, guardian of shades
O Nungal, where the river fades
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
O'er shadowed depths and whispering tides, his ancient vessel glides
With lantern dim, through mist and wraith, to where the truth abides
He knows the secrets of the deep, where mortal fears do hide
He was Nungal, the ferryman, the ever-faithful guide
[Chorus]
O Nungal, ferryman of yore
O Nungal, keeper evermore
O Nungal, guardian of shades
O Nungal, where the river fades
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Through waters deep and dark as coal, his oars did cut the tide
He ferried spirits, lost and cold, to where the shades reside
He bore their woes, their dreams, their fears, to realms of endless night
He was Nungal, the ferryman, till dawn’s first break of light
[Chorus]
O Nungal, ferryman of yore
O Nungal, keeper evermore
O Nungal, guardian of shades
O Nungal, where the river fades
[Instrumental]
[Outro Instrumental Fade]
