Down The Road

I took my possessions (down the road)

And all that I own (down the road)

To set out at nighttime (down the road)

Down the road (down the road)

And with God as my witness (down the road)

There stood a man (down the road)

Dressed in the shadows (down the road)

With blood on his hands (down the road)

♪

And there was something so familiar about him

A certain kind of aura pouring all around him

Looking fresh to death, his suit, it was astounding

I caught his eye and then I felt like I was drowning (down the road)

♪

Standing at a crossroads and the dull glow of the lit bulbs flicker

Silently, quietly

Tiptoe down the long road and the man spoke to me

Quite excitedly

"Hello, dear fellow"

And he tipped his hat and he smiled invitingly

Who knows why I felt this

But I felt like someone lit a fire in me

♪

Burn and I felt my stomach churning

I turned and I tried to find the wording

Concerned in a feeling, disconcerting

It's strange but I felt this weird yearning

A craving for something that was urging me over

And then to start conversing

I reached out my hand, he shook it during

He leaned in and said something disturbing

♪

All I gotta know is your desires

Is it fame or fortune you aspire?

To get up out this life that you been living?

Follow me, I'll walk you through the fire

I got every type of flavoring

You should see the budget of the catering

And I don't want to come off as a salesman

But I got the taste that you been savoring

♪

Let your pain go

Let the flames grow

I'll read every thought that's on your mind

Cuz I know you got a name so

Why don't you just write it on this line?

Here, I got a pen and everything

You need a wedding ring? I offer the divine

I don't think you fully understand but I promise that you will in time

So just make a choice

♪

So I stood frozen

At the crossroads of time

Took hold of his paper

And I leant down to sign

(Down the road)

(Down the road)

(Down the road)

♪

I still remember back where I was from

See, I was the favourite, the morning sun

See, I had ideas but they said they're too grand

So they casted me out without reason or doubt

Now there's blood on my hands

♪

See, I've been that one with the silver tongue

Yea, they say I've fallen but never run

Following a calling

I've been all in with the barrel of a loaded gun

Aimed at the masses, at their masses

Yea, the darkness gone get you

You could say a prayer if it helps you

That cross won't protect you from the light-bringing lost angel

Shit, I only came to entertain you

But since we made ourselves a deal

You gone to be my fucking puppet till it breaks you

I'mma chain you to the ground

I'll enslave you, look around

Ain't nobody coming here to save you

I'mma take you way down

♪

Cuz yea, I know I've been around

But still I got some shit to prove

And I don't really give a fuck how it's got to happen

But just know that you

Got a fucking deal with the devil written

So shut up and listen or play me some blues

And just know the choice that you made today'll be

The last thing that you ever choose
