    Story Behind the Song
    We took the Roman Myth of Charon who was the ferryman for Pluto, God of the Underworld and put it to music. In the Underworld there were two Rivers, the River of Hate(Styx)and the River of Woe(Acharon). Now to pass down the River of Woe when you died(which was the one that lead to the afterlife)you needed to buried with a token in your mouth. You then would bring that token to Charon who was the ferryman for the boat that went down the River of Woe so you could enter the afterlife. If you didn't have a token when you went to Charon you would be left to burn on the banks of the River of Hate for a hundred years.

    Lyrics
    Don't look for me
    Down in this world
    You wanna see
    Just what I hold
    You search for Charon
    And I am he
    This land is baron
    Except for me

    Follow me
    You know just who I am
    Have faith in me
    And please just take my hand

    Follow me
    To the River
    Follow me
    To the Lake
    Follow me
    To the River
    Follow me
    To your grave

    Chorus
    Your soul it seems to me cant seem to be
    Your will to die is forcing me to go
    Insane

    You have no token
    Now it's to late
    The deal is broken
    Lay next to your fate
    On these banks forever
    You will wait
    As I pray for never
    On my River of Hate

    Follow me
    You know just who I am
    Have faith in me
    And please just take my hand

    Follow me
    To the River
    Follow me
    To the Lake
    Follow me
    To the River
    Follow me
    To your grave

    Chorus
    Your soul it seems to me cant seem to be
    Your will to die is forcing me to go
    Insane
