I took my possessions
And all that I own
to set out at nighttime
down the road
And with God as my witness
There stood a man
dressed in the shadows
with blood on his hands
down the road
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 crossroad
and the dull glow
of the lit bulb
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
Burning
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
I don't wanna 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
at the crossroads of time
Took hold of his paper
and I leant down to sign
Down the road
goes
down the road
goes
down the road
Down
I still remember
Back where I was from
See I was the favorite
huh
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
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' to be
my fucking puppet
'til 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 gotta happen
but just know that you
got a fucking deal
with the devil written
So shut up and listen
and 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
