Down The Road

[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
