Come to the river of Lethe

These are the waters of unknowing

Here you may lay down your life’s burdens

All the suffering that existence brings

Only sip from the river, just a drop

And embrace the sweetness of oblivion

Enter Eternity renewed

Innocent as one new born

Or turn from Lethe and come to Mnemosyne

Water of memory and wisdom

Here you may learn and understand

All that fate and life brought you

Drink deep from this river

And rise to meet your new understanding

Enter Eternity knowing all things

Clad in the wisdom of ages

Two rivers at the crossing of the worlds

Choose well
