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
'Cause I know you got a name so
Why don't you just write it on this line?
Here, I got a pen and everything
Who needs 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 (down the road)
At the crossroads of time (down the road)
Took hold of his paper (down the road)
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 been that one with the silver tongue
Yeah, they say I've fallen but never run
Following a calling
I been all in with the barrel of a loaded gun
Aimed at the masses, at their masses
Yeah, 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'ma chain you to the ground
I'll enslave you, look around
Ain't nobody coming here to save you
I'ma take you way down
'Cause yeah, 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

Down the road
Down the road
Down the road
(Down the road)
