I did not have a coin for Charon
And he dismissed me off the Styx.  
I had to get off his boat
And wander aimlessly on golden shore.

The sand grew dull and sticky as my feet treaded on,
And soon I found my path had led
To an obsolete chamber
That reeked of smell.

Such stench haunted my nose
Passing a dreading feeling
That shivered my chest
And sliced my soul.

But since I was trapped
And had nowhere to go,
I grew accustomed to the rotting stench
That lingered in the darkness of this chasm.

Such a feeling of eternity passed
That I would not be unearthed.
And my thoughts traced back  
To when I had no coin for Charon.
