Lethe Waters Lyrics
Moth and a candle, frenzied it flies
Sole mad obsession, certain demise.
There, a dim fire, Steady the wheel.
Below the wreckage scrapes at the keel.
Walk the field of endless doors.
At every step they implore.
Lethe waters.
The quiet drum.
Endless marching
Of forgetting ones.
Just the next turn now,
Just the next bend.
It can't be much further
Where this road ends.
There, in the distance.
You hear it call?
But what we are after
Who can recall?
Walk the field of endless doors.
At every step they implore.
Lethe waters.
The quiet drum.
Endless marching
Of forgetting ones.
Lethe waters.
The quiet drum.
Slow marching
Of forgetting ones.
Lethe waters.
The quiet drum.
Endless marching
Of forgetting ones.
Lethe waters.
The quiet drum.
Endless marching
Of forgetting ones.
Sole mad obsession, certain demise.
There, a dim fire, Steady the wheel.
Below the wreckage scrapes at the keel.
At every step they implore.
The quiet drum.
Endless marching
Of forgetting ones.
Just the next bend.
It can't be much further
Where this road ends.
There, in the distance.
You hear it call?
But what we are after
Who can recall?
At every step they implore.
The quiet drum.
Endless marching
Of forgetting ones.
The quiet drum.
Slow marching
Of forgetting ones.
The quiet drum.
Endless marching
Of forgetting ones.
The quiet drum.
Endless marching
Of forgetting ones.

a dark night on a boat floating on the river maybe near an old mansion or a battlefield.
I should add that Lethe is one of the rivers in Hades. to drink from it causes complete forgetfulness. So maybe it's a ride on the boat of Charon headed to the afterlife. anything to fill in the picture.

According to traditional Greek myth and Dante's Divine Comedy, Charon only ferried cross Styx. "Lethe," more than just the river, is defined as oblivion or forgetfulness in the English dictionary - following Greek tradition that many bodies of water had literal meanings and was also named after a Naiad, which was more or less a personification of a body of water.
