LYRICS

Who will pay the ferryman for our rendezvous in hell?
Have you got a soul to sell?
Have you got a soul to sell that’s worth the selling?

Who will pay the ferryman on the voyage of the damned?
Blood is seeping through the sand
Have you got a tale to tell that’s worth the telling?

Who will cross the rubicon, the point of no return
All our bridges burn
When will we ever learn what we’ve been teaching?

Who will cross the rubicon, the die forever-cast
The first become the last
The ghost of Christmas past resorts to stealing

So let me ask you,
what you selling for
How much silver do you need to make it worth the price?
So let me ask you,
why do you want more
How much silver makes it worth the sacrifice?

And how much silver do you need to lead you to temptation
And how much silver do you need to pay for your redemption
How much silver do you need
How much silver do you need
To offer you salvation

For you desecrate the memory, when you abdicate your throne
We were born to die alone
we will reap what we have sown, on that bright morning

And in the final reckoning, when we tally up the score
when the less become the more
it is tempting to ignore, our mother’s warning

What you sow
is what you reap
So mister, start your reaping
Men ask why,
as Satan smiles
The angels gently weeping

So let me ask you,
What you selling for
How much silver do you need to make it worth the price?
So let me ask you,
Why do you want more
How much silver makes it worth the sacrifice?
