In Greek mythology, Acherusia (Greek: 'Αχερουσια λιμνη or 'Αχερουσις), was a name given by the ancients to several lakes or swamps, which, like the various rivers called Acheron, were at some time believed to be connected with the lower world, until at last the Acherusia came to be considered to be in the lower world itself.
The lake to which this belief seems to have been first attached was the Acherusia in Thesprotia, through which the river Acheron flowed.[1] Other lakes or swamps of the same name, and believed to be in connection with the lower world, were near Hermione in Argolis,[2] near Heraclea in Bithynia,[3] between Cumae and cape Misenum in Campania,[4] and lastly in Egypt, near Memphis.[5]
In Greek mythology, it was also the name of an underground cavern, through which Heracles dragged Cerberus as one of his Twelve Labors.

Vanished
by: AshersIt's always cold in here, sacrifice is clear
No one seems to care that he's bound to a wheelchair
The minutes, the minutes, the minutes last for days
Collected wounds like broken strays
And when the smoke has cleared
The bodies disappears
Vanished into thin air
Regret replaces fear
We get the world we deserve
Children taught to kill for god
While their parent's bodies slowly rot
But the ones you wanna kill
Might be the ones that kill us all
In seconds, in seconds, in seconds, it all could change
Blood is oil that makes the gears turn
