Charon by King Diamond
Katy Irizarry explains that in this song King Diamond sings from the perspective of Charon, while he takes the lost souls across the River Styx.
“Welcome my friend, my name is Charon / Please take my hand, I know the secret land / Don’t be afraid, oh no / I’m faceless, but don’t fear now / I’ll take you safe across the River Styx.”
