[Intro: Ren]
I took my possessions (Down the road)
And all that I own (Down the road)
I 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)
There was somethin' so familiar about him
A certain kind of aura pourin' all around him
Lookin' fresh to death, his suit, it was astounding
I caught his eye, and then I felt like I was drownin' (Down the road)
[Verse 1: Ren, Chris Webby]
Standing at the crossroads in the dull glow of the lit bulbs, flicker silently, quietly
Tip-toe down the long road, and the man spoke to me quite еxcitedly
"Hello, dear fеllow," 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 livin'?
Follow me, I'll walk you through the fire
I got every type of flavoring, you should see the budget of the catering
I don't wanna come off as a salesman, but I got the taste that you've been savorin'
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 at the crossroads of time
Took hold of his paper and I leant down to sign
[Chorus]
Down the road
Down, down the road
Down, down the road
Down
[Verse 2: Chris Webby]
I still remember back where I was from
See, I was the favourite, the mornin' 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
Yeah, they say I've fallen, but never run
Followin' a callin', I been all in
With the barrel of a loaded gun
Aimed at the masses, at their masses
Yeah, the darkness gon' 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 gon' be my fuckin' puppet 'til it breaks you
I'mma chain you to the ground, I'll enslave you, look around
Ain't nobody comin' here to save you
I'mma 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 fuckin' 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
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Down the road
Down the road
Down the road
