Artist/Band: Scorpions
Lyrics for Song: The Sails Of Charon
Lyrics for Album: Taken By Force



Dark night, there is no light
In the realm of the black magic man
Soul's flight into the cold blight
Of the destroyer's magic land

Poor man, whose spirits are stronger
They're the ones who will reign
You're struggles are in vain

Blind man, you're suckin' your own blood
Soon black magic's dying
You'd better start crying

Blind man, you're suckin' your own blood
Soon black magic's dying
You'd better start crying

Throw out your evil desire
The dark king's kingdom is
Made out of mire

Throw out your evil desire
The dark king's kingdom is
Made out of mire

Keep on for the kingdom of light
There is no darkness, there is no night


The Sails Of Charon

Released on the 1986 album Taken By Force, The Sails Of Charon stands as a defining track in the Scorpions' hard rock catalog. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of melodic sensibility and driving power, featuring the iconic guitar work of Klaus Meine and Uli Jon Roth. As a staple of their live performances and a cornerstone of the new wave of British and German rock, it captures the essence of the mid-80s era. The track remains a powerful representation of the Scorpions' ability to craft anthems that resonate across generations, solidifying their legacy in the rock genre.
