lyrics

The path ahead is so dark
and so black.
Play a song
for the fiery red headed girls
to keep them off your track.
Play a song
for the ferryman
to take you across.

Find your heart in the grey
cloud ahead.
Play a song
for the one you left behind
to tell her to follow you.
Play a song
for the trust that
you cannot feel.

You have entered into Hell;
don't look back,
don't look back.

Her figure's leaving right in front of you;
her figure's leaving because of you:
you looked back.

She was gone before
you turned around.

She has entered into Hell;
you can't go back,
you can't go back.
