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 something so familiar about him
Hey hello
A certain kind of aura pouring all around him
Hey hello
Looking fresh to death his suit it was astounding
Hey hello
I caught his eye and then I felt like I was drowning
(Down the road)
Standing at a crossroad and the dull glow
Of the lit bulbs flicker silently quietly
Tip-toe down thе long road and the man spoke
To me quitе 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 try to I 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 flavouring you should see the budget of the catering
I don’t wanna come off as a salesman but I got the taste that you been savouring
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, 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
Took Hold (Down the road) of his paper and I leant down to sign
(Down the road) down (Down the road) down (Down the road) down
Hehe 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 tonque (Down the road) yea they say I’ve fallen
But never run following a calling (Down the road) I been all-in with the barrel of a loaded gun
Aimed at the masses (Down the road) at their masses yea the darkness gone get you (Down the road)
You could say a prayer if it helps you that cross won’t protect you
From the light bringing lost angel (Down the road)
Shit, I only came to entertain you but since we made ourselves (Down the road) a deal
You gone be my fucking puppet till it breaks you
I’mme chain you to the ground (Down the road) I’ll enslave you look around
Ain’t nobody comming here to save you (Down the road) I’mme take you way down
Cuz yeah I know I been around (Down the road)
But still I got some shit to prove and I don’t really give a fuck (Down the road)
How it’s gotta happen but just know that you got a fucking deal
With the devil written (Down the road) so shut up and listen or
Play me some blues and just know the choice that you made today’ll be
Last thing that you ever choose
Ah (Down the road) ah (Down the road) ah (Down the road) ahum ahum
(Down the road) (Down the road) (Down the road) ahum ahum ahum ahum
(Down the road)
