Forgiven or damned, whispered Scarbo
With a spiderweb for shroud I'll bury you down below
And into the crypt where you'll have to die
Out in the limbo you'll hear the children cry!

Let me have an aspen leave to cradle me across the lake
Unless the trunk of (the) tarentula will suck me down inside my grave

No way! he laughed
You'll be the fodder of the beetle hunting it's prey at dusk
Wrapped in a snakeskin, covered with gold,
Your only escape is a dive in the void

(A birdsong in the distance invites my look through the trees)

And when my life is over, remember I taught you how to please me:

Come with me, follow me if you dare
On a strange journey, a trip to nowhere
I will take you down below
With Charon for guide to visit the unknown

Your life will be a way for me to pay for all my sins
I'm sure the shores of hell will find in you a graceful gift

Forgiven or damned,
Whispered Scarbo
You'll soon understand
That it don't mean nothing
For those who are blinded by insanity,
Heaven or hell it means nothing to thee
Means nothing to thee
It means nothing to thee
Those who are blinded by insanity

Come with me, follow me if you dare
On a strange journey, a trip to nowhere
I will take you down below
With Charon for guide to visit the unknown

Your life will be a way for me to pay for all my sins
I'm sure the shores of hell will find in you a graceful gift

Forgiven or damned, whispered Scarbo
With a spiderweb for shroud I'll bury you down below
And into the crypt where you'll have to die
Out in the limbo you'll hear the children cry!
