I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
Asked the lord above for mercy, save me if you please.
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by.
Im going down to rosedale, take my rider by my side.
Im going down to rosedale, take my rider by my side.
You can still barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside.
You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy willie
brown.
You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy willie

And Im standing at the crossroads, believe Im sinking
Now, George was a good straight boy to begin with, but there was bad blood
In him; someway he got into the magic bullets and that leads straight to
Devil's work, just like marijuana leads to heroin; you think yo ucan take
Them bullets or leave 'em, do you?
Just save a few for your bad days
Well, now, we all have those bad days when you can't shoot for shit.
The more of them magics you use, the more bad days you have without them
So it comes down finally to all your days being bad without the bullets
It's magics or nothing
Time to stop chippying around and kidding yourself,
Kid, you're hooked, heavy as lead
And that's where old George found himself
Out there at the crossroads
Molding the Devil's bullets
Now a man figures it's his bullets, so it will
Hit what he wants to hit
But it don't always work that way
You see, some bullets is special for a single aim
A certain stag, or a certain person
And no matter where you are, that's where the bullet will end up
And in the moment of aiming, the gun turns into a dowser's wand
And point where the bullet wants to go
(George Schmid was moving in a series of convulsive spasms, like someone
with an epileptic fit, with his face distorted and his eyes wild like a
lassoed horse bracing his legs. But something kept pulling him on. And now
he is picking up the skulls and making the circle.)
I guess old George didn't rightly know what he's getting himself into
When first, I did appear upon this native soil
All up and down this country at labor I did toil
I slumbered in the moonlight and I rose with the sun
I rambled through the canyons where the cold rivers run
When first, I did come down where the land meets the sea
The people said Who are you and what would your name be
I said I have no home and I am no man's son
'Twas inland I was born and from inland that I come
In the good land, I was young and I was strong
No one dared to call me son
Happy just to see my day's work done
See my day's work done
So, I swung an axe as a timberjack and I worked the Quebec mines
And on the golden prairie I rode the big combines
I sailed the maritime waters of many a seaport town
Built the highways and the byways to the western salmon grounds
I've gazed upon the good times I've seen the bad times too
Felt many a cold and bitter wind and many a mornin' dew
I've watched the country growin' like a fair and mighty thing
And on the still of a summer night I've heard the mountains ring
In the good land, I was young and I was strong
No one dared to call me son
Happy just to see my day's work done
See my day's work done
But now, the seeds are planted and the gates are open wide
The old ways are forgotten there's no place left to hide
And the legacy I'm leavin' you is not very hard to find
You'll see it all around you at this crossroads of time
I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above, have mercy now, save poor Bob if you please
Standin' at the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Whee-hee, I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by
Standin' at the crossroads, risin' sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroads baby, the risin' sun goin' down
I believe to my soul now, po' Bob is sinkin' down
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
That I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord, baby I'm sinkin' down
I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east and west
The wind is howlin
the rain pours down
eyes are blood-shot
heartbeat pounds.
Lights go out
the whole world's in darkness
the ground is tremblin'
dogs are barkless.
In the sky there appears a great light
burnin' all the flesh off the creatures of the night.
AAAHHHH! Cryin' in a childless (?) tone
terrified of dyin' a painful death alone.
Don't smile
lest a innocent (?) chile
The power of god is gonna get to be your tal (?).
Throw like a hit from the best
take it in a slump
ha ha
feel it in your chest.
Conquerin the world with the words
leadin the children like herds.
I can feel it buildin
I'm about to explode
I'm walkin on the crossroad
People livin in a shack - at the crossroads
Little kids sellin crack - at the crossroads
(?) stab you in the back - at the crossroads
Everybodies gettin jacked at the crossroads
Violins and trumpets play
25 thousand people in a golden sleigh
on there way to the promise land.
Deliverance
but yet some don't understand.
Rough on a late night thrill
after midnight
kill or be killed.
Soldiers, warriors
(?) at each other
on the combat zone.
Supreme power on the throne.
Lighting strikes in every home.
Terrified men run down the street.
So many dead bodies
it's hard to eat.
Come, we gotta rise
above the wall.
To see what no man has seen before.
Blindin' light
that got you through the night.
God is on your side
to got in a fight.
Homicide
suicide
death.
BOOM!
Ain't nobody left.
Ohhhh! It's startin to take affect.
Your on your knees
you scared to death.
Tornados with a thousand people spinnin.
One fight at the cross
and now god is winin.
The whole Earth cracks in half.
The sea turns red from the blood bath.
Abandoned buildings burned
and two remain (?).
Terrified
you feel the fire blaze.
The ground can't hold your weight.
You reach out to grab the pearly gates.
Who clocked this f***
not from space.
Never again
will you see the human race.
19 angels leadin the devil straight to hell!
Torment!
Pain!
What you're seein here
you can't explain.
All your life
some men
we played the game.
Woke up this morning
Got the crossroads on my mind.
Well I woke up this morning
Got the crossroads on my mind.
Take a walk with me
And everything will work out fine.
Well I woke up this morning
Got the judgement on my mind.
Well I woke up this morning
Got the judgement on my mind.
Take a walk with me
And everything will work out fine.
Well I woke up this morning
Got the H-bomb on my mind.
Well I woke up this morning
Got the H-bomb on my mind.
Take a walk with me
And everything will work out fine.
Woke up this morning
Got the crossroads on my mind.
Well I woke up this morning
Got the crossroads on my mind.
Take a walk with me
And everything will work out fine.
Woke up this morning
Got nothing on my mind.
Well I woke up this morning
Nothing on my mind.
Take a walk with me
Time has washed away
And now I may wonder
How did it all slip by
Cause I always thought
We had forever
Future calls to me
To take me away from things
I don't want to leave behind
Like I'm slipping away
I can't hold on
Find that path alone
Crossroads lead me away
But that's not what worries me
I just want to know what's home
Through it all
My mind still wanders
To the one who touched my soul
Though her road leads away
She's still my
True love
I could believe
Will is not enough when all those
Lost days stand in the way
But she was
My hopes and dreams my
Whole world
I could believe
I still want to know
Who can see for me
Crossroads tell me
Now you'll have to trade
Your past away
And find another day
So is change a friend or an enemy
Through what comes to pass
I'll find my way
I've seen it all before
But is the best you can be
The best thing to be
Some people say
You're just wasting time
But that's not what worries me
I couldn't talk for the longest time
About the deepest fear of mine
I'm haunted by this hurting spell
To see what I can never tell - it really hurts
Who am I - what can I say
I rather turn my eyes away
I hear my conscience speak out loud
You cannot change - you're way too proud
Don't let me down - I'm standing at the crossroads
Don't let me down - I'm standing at the crossroads
You gotta know, I can read your mind
And see that you're the kind
Who's hiding pain, hiding his life
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
Asked the lord above for mercy, save me if you please.
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.

On the riverside
One more time
You can run, you can run
Tell all my friends I'll be by
You can run, you can run
Tell my friends I'll be by
And I'll be stayin' in the crossroads
I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knee
I asked the Lord above me for mercy
"Save Bob, if you please"
Standing, standing on the crossroad
Yeah, I try to flag a ride
Don't nobody seem to know me
Just everybody passing me by

Fell down on my knee

So he won't be lonely(lonely)
All you folks think you own my life
But you never made any sacrifice
Demons are on my trail
I'm standing at the crossroads of hell.
I look to the left
I look to the right
Hands that grab me on every side.
Mmmm...
All you folks think I got my price
At which I sell all that is mine
You think money rules when all else fails
Go sell your soul and keep your shell.
I'm trying to protect what I keep inside
All the reasons why I live my life.
Mmmm...
Some say the devil be a mystical thing
I say the devil he a walking man.
He a fool, he a liar, conjurer and a thief
He try to tell you what you want
Try to tell you what to need.
Mmmm...
Standing at the point
The road it cross you down
What is at your back?
Which way do you turn?
Who will come to find you first?
Your devils or your gods?
Mmmm...
All your folks think you run my life
Say I should be willing to compromise.
I say all your demons go back to hell
I'll save my soul, save myself.
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord for mercy, said, "Help me if you please"

Fell down on my knees
Yes, down to the crossroad
Fell down on my knees
Sweet Lord, I'm beggin' for mercy
Won't you take me, if you please?
I went down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride, you tried that lately
Down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me
Everybody passed me by
Well, I?m going down to Rosedale

Do you still have a house, baby
On the riverside?
Ah, burn it up
Going down to Rosedale

Yes, down to Rosedale
Take Loretta by my side
Do you still have a house, baby
On the riverside?
Oh, I got something to believe in, stick it

Tell all my friends, I'll be back
We?ll see y?all again, Atlanta

Asked the lord above for mercy, save me if you please.
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by.

You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
You are Selene, the moon in heaven
You are Persephone, Queen of the Underworld
Hecate...darkness and terror of the night
Hecate...oh, the crossroads are thine
You are Diana, you are the hunter of souls
The dogs are howling, we dogs know when you approach
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride the crossroads
Let us ride with a beast tonight, oh let us ride
At the crossroads, they buried criminals and suicides
At the crossroads, any traveller could lose a life
A suitable place, for making a pact with the Devil
A suitable place, for us to hold the sabbath
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride the crossroads
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride in the dead of night...
Even you mortals can ride with her at night
And join the night-flying demons, oh you and I
Listen to their tales of wandering ghosts
Listen to their tales of forgotten times
Listen to their tales of the crossroads
Listen to their tales of forgotten lives
Oh Diana
Hecate...darkness and terror of the night
Hecate...oh, the crossroads are thine
You are Diana, you are the hunter of souls
The dogs are howling, we dogs know when you approach
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride the crossroads
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride in the dead of night
To the crossroads...to the crossroads...
We ride to the crossroads, in search of your soul
I find myself here once again
under clouds of indecision
reflections looking right through me
I can't believe the lies we tell ourselves
the music used to be everything
the music used to heal
but business soon becomes reality
and nothing left inside is real
dysfunction's all that we see true
allow my best to see this through
got nothing left to give you
now I gotta find a better way
turned against each other
with the games we all like to play
looking straight ahead
It's hard to see things eye to eye
not at all what it used to be
something that I can't deny
and now I leave it up to you
allow my best to see this through
got nothing left to give you
now I gotta find a better way
I've got nothing on my mind
Nothing to remember, nothing to forget
I've got nothing to regret
But I'm all tied up on the inside
No one knows quite what I've got
And I know that on the outside
What I used to be, I'm not
Anymore
You know I've heard about people like me
But I never made the connection
They walk one road to set them free
And find they've gone the wrong direction
But there's no need for turning back
Cause all roads lead to where I stand
And I believe I've walked them all
No matter what I may have planned
Can you remember who I was?
Can you still feel it?
Can you find my pain?
Can you heal it?
And lay your hands upon me know
And cast this darkness from my soul
You alone can light my way
You alone can make me whole
Once again
We've walked both sides of every street
Through all kinds of windy weather
But that was never our defeat
As long as we could walk together
So there's no need for turning back
Cause all roads lead to where we stand
And I believe we'll walk them all
Now I'm on my way
Livin' in a state of mind
Out of time
Sun is shining high
I've been driving my car fast
Since last night
Another crossroad and another choice
Road sign tells 6 miles to nowhere
No more fear to reach 'nowhere'
Am I insane?
No more reason to remain
Tied up in this reality
Maybe I am out of space
But it's better to stay away, than live today
I saw that fire that burns fed by innocent lives
I've had enough
The road is straight, I cannot see the end
But 6 miles now are almost done
No more fear to reach 'nowhere'
Am I insane?
No more reason to remain
Tied up in chains
No more fear to reach 'nowhere'
Am I insane?
No more reason to remain
Time has washed away
And now I may wonder
How did it all slip by
Cause I always thought
We had forever
Future calls to me
To take me away from things
I don't want to leave behind
Like I'm slipping away
I can't hold on
Find that path alone
Crossroads lead me away
But that's not what worries me
I just want to know what's home
Through it all
My mind still wanders
To the one who touched my soul
Though her road leads away
She's still my
True love
I could believe
Will is not enough when all those
Lost days stand in the way
But she was
My hopes and dreams my
Whole world
I could believe
I still want to know
Who can see for me
Crossroads tell me
Now you'll have to trade
Your past away
And find another day
So is change a friend or an enemy
Through what comes to pass
I'll find my way
I've seen it all before
But is the best you can be
The best thing to be
Some people say
You're just wasting time
But that's not what worries me
I just want to know what's home
I've been traveling for so long
So lost ?till I stumbled upon
Two roads in front of me
I've got to take my time
To the right I could see a church
I took a step in that direction first
But to the left there was a watering hole
Where they were whiskey drunk
And now that's where I wanna pray
The fight down here goes on and on
If I was perfect then this would be easy
Either road's plausible on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult but now I can see
There's gotta be another way to go
A way that's much more feasible
A combination of all these lives
A central path without choosing a side
I make decisions one at a time
And no I never say I'm always right
I'm confident that when I stand on my own
You'll see the truest form of a man
When I'm shining through
The fight down here goes on and on
If I was perfect then this would be easy
Either road's plausible on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult but now I can see
Oh, I hear them now
All the religious rhymes
(Anger I see, anger I see, anger I see now)
The left isn't better
It's just more of the same
Condemning all these people
For what they believe
I climb to the top of that mountain again
[Incomprehensible]
And the closer to the top I get
The more they take aim but I'm not you
I may not be perfect but I've always been true
I may not be worthy in your eyes
Climb up from the bottom for the last time
The last one, the last one, the last time
If I was perfect then this would be easy
Either road's plausible on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
Took you away from your world
Guess you thought it was on my dear
I can't believe what you said
Stand in line when you come to me
Fuck you, I don't give a damn what you sold me
Was God on fire?
Why can't you see it was trust that was killed in this song tonight.
I don't want to be alone
I can find somebody new
I don't need you to go on
This is my religion.
Take me for all that you can
Play the game that you started here
Don't think I don't know the ways and the reasons
You stand with me
Fuck you, I don't give a damn what you sold me
Was God on fire?
Why can't you'd see it was trust that was killed in this song tonight.
I don't want to be alone
I can find somebody new
I don't need you to go on

It's like I'm walking through this kingdom of time
This far I've done lost my mind
Only to find the other side
Is where the world opens wide
To descend these city streets late at night
I've been searching for my bite
They say I inspired, but I'm still looking for my fire
These lies have got me tired
I'm free falling, I'm done stalling
I'm done crawling up this mountain top
I won't stop till I manifest my craft
The top is close
I'm sky scraping
They stay chasing
I'm like racing in the Sun, I'm running from depths
They're done, I'm going gray
I'm still young having mystic visions
Of the one, I hear the hum, the melody comes
Rushing in like some wind
Cuts close like a knife
All I got is my life
All I got I got I got
Crossroads, one million miles
I'm kicking up dirt when I'm flying high
Crossroads, one million miles
I'm kicking up dirt when I'm flying high
Now the rain is falling drizzle dropping on the street
Cleaning off the dirt beneath my feet
I got the speed on repeat
While I'm riding subway trains on a fact
Over tracks to go crack, my heart's black
But intact I've come to take the music back
I'm moving forward this time you can't ignore it
Put the pedal to the floor
Let's take you off
Through the time that has come
The time has come I launch orbit
I'm tight rope
Walking over fire with flames, yeah hot coals
I'm like water for you trolls
I pay no tolls
Speak to ghosts
Time to go high
The cross that you walk by
Got my eye into
I'll magic fly off on the broom
Which is true,
I'm at the crossroads, but I'll give my soul
It's already old
Crossroads, one million miles
I'm kicking up dirt when I'm flying high
Crossroads, one million miles
I'm kicking up dirt when I'm flying high
I'm a slave to the throne
The chariot, the flames, it's my home
I'm in a class of my own
Lights out, you're all alone, with your heart of stone
O-o-o-o-o-oh-oh
Crossroads, one million miles
I'm kicking up dirt when I'm flying high
Crossroads, one million miles
I'm kicking uṗ dirt when I'm flying high
Crossroads, one million miles
I'm kicking up dirt when I'm flying high
Staning at the crossroads of life
Somehow i went wrong when i shoulda went right
And i can't blame this one on nobody else
Come and rescue me from myself
I am standing at the crossroad of life
Somehow my days have turned into night
And if my decisions are the keys
To my destiny
Come rescue me
(chorus)fade)
Ill be standind at the crossroad
Till you come and take my hand
Lord i need your love
To make me a better man
Ill be standing at the crossroad
Till you come and lead the way
Ill be waiting here
Jamie said "My body's tired,
I've got to get some rest
I've been pacing around for hours
trying to understand this fate
step by step and around
I go in and out of my memory
a flashback here, a vision there,
I never quite felt so free
Strange how some moments have just faded
strange how some feelings just aren't there
I'm standing at the crossroads of this world
that waits for me it lures me with caresses
like a feather on my cheek soothing me to sleep
And all the restlessness that consumed me
has disappeared and all my yearnings to fight
it have gone with my last tear I throw my life
into the hands of a forceI cannot see I pull away from what I know and unite with what I believe in
Strange how some moments have just faded
strange how some feelings just aren't there
I'm standing at the crossroads of this world
that waits for me it lures me with caresses
like a feather on my cheek soothing me to sleep
Though I've loved you all I know
I've earned my turn to think of me and only me
Here's to all we've known to the cross that we have born
something is coming to set me free ...
I'm standing at the crossroads of this world
that waits for me it lures me with caresses
We put tape in the blaster
Got up on our bikes
Had no destination
We just did whatever we liked
Those were the days that shaped us
We hung out in the harbor
Where the cranes reached for the sky
In the shadows of the piles of junk
We spent both days and nights
Those were the days that shaped us
Sometimes I wish, I could go back
This place was our kingdom
And no one could take it away
The fun never ended
On our nightly escapades
Those were the days that shaped us
Sometimes I wish, I could go back
And it was long before the crossroads
Where we could go our separate ways
No I, I can't believe
That it's been ten years
It's been some tears
It feels like yesterday
We didn't really care if the rain came pouring down
'Cause there was always something goin' on
And we had to be around
Those were the days that shaped us
The freight trains came and left
And so did the years
Before I knew it, it was gone
It's new time but we're still here
Those were the days that shaped us
Sometimes I wish, I could go back
And it was long before the crossroads
Where we could go our separate ways
No I, I can't believe
That it's been ten years
It's been some tears
It feels like yesterday
No I, I can't believe
That it's been ten years
It's been some tears
Now here, here we are today
No I, I can't believe
That it's been ten years
It's been some tears
It feels like yesterday
No I, I can't believe
That it's been ten years
It's been some tears
Now here we are today
No I, I can't believe
That it's been ten years
It's been some tears
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy, "Save me if you please"
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by
And I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
Going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
You can still barrel house, baby, on the riverside
Going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
Going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
You can still barrel house, baby on the riverside

There were things that I knew to say,
To hear me,
Please don't take this a wrong way,
Hey, I don't wanna make things harder, no,
I don't wanna complicate,
This is keeping me away
(Yeah)
Standing at the crossroads now,
And we can't back down,
'Cause there's nothing left worth saving there,
(Yeah)
We need to close the door
We've been in it before,
No, there's nothing left worth saving there
I hear you,
Maybe we're not in the stretch of all,
I know that,
We can be more if we let it go,
I know that,
We can be so much better, girl,
If we make the right choice now,
We don't need to look back
(Yeah)
Standing at the crossroads now,
And we can't back down,
'Cause there's nothing left worth saving there,
(Yeah)
We need to close the door,
We've been in it before,
No, there's nothing left worth saving there
'Cause you're breaking me, shaking me,
You're taking me over,
We were love drunk, we sunk.
We need to get sober,
We fall, we fall over
Standing at the crossroads now,
And we can't back down,
'Cause there's nothing left worth saving there,
Standing at the crossroads now,
And we can't back down,
'Cause there's nothing left worth saving there,
We need to close the door,
We've been in it before,
Sitting on the morning train
Sometimes I drift away
I start daydreaming again
My visions in life
Has been to make ends meet
Out on this voyage I've been gone
Got to get up on my feet
Like a child with crayons drawing pictures
Then I would turn the page
So much I wanna see
Standing at a crossroad
I don't know
Which way I should go
Solitude will be conquered
That I know
Standing at a crossroad
I don't know
Which way I should go
Solitude will be conquered
That I know
Like a child with crayons drawing pictures
Then I would turn the page
So much I wanna see
Standing at a crossroad
I don't know
Which way I should go
Solitude will be conquered
That I know
Standing at a crossroad
I don't know
Which way I should go
Solitude will be conquered
That I know
That's why the heart is a lonely hunter
And I've never been lost before
I'm gonna find me a way to get back to you
And then we won't be lost no more
That's why the heart is a lonely hunter
And I've never been lost before
I'm gonna find me a way to get back to you
And then we won't be lost no more
That's why the heart is a lonely hunter
And I've never been lost before
I'm gonna find me a way to get back to you
I have never seen this coming
I have never climbed so high
I have never thought this could
Be the crossroads of my life
I have never seen the choices
I have never soared the sky
I have always thought
I am living just to stay alive
I let myself fall at night
To be carried by the sound
I let it all just happen
Without restraint or bound
I was afloat in the night
And it was the only route
I could not hear my thinking
The din was drowning it all out
I went further and further
The music swallowed me whole
I had to push more and more
To know how deep I could fall
I felt my grip slip away
And my time was running out
There would be but one instant
For me to vanquish my doubt
How long since I slept?
How long since I ate?
How long since I felt?
How long since I cared?
I have never heard the voices
They have never made me cry
I have never thought this would
Be the crossroads of my life
I have never seen the choices
I have never soared the sky
I have always thought I am
Living just to stay alive
I have never seen this coming
I have never climbed so high
I have never thought this could
Be the crossroads of my life
How long since I slept?
How long since I ate?
How long since I felt?
How long since I cared?
I have never heard the voices
They have never made me cry
I have never thought this would
Be the crossroads of my life
I have never seen the choices
I have never soared the sky
I have always thought I am
Living just to stay alive
I have never seen this coming
I have never climbed so high
I have never thought this could
Be the crossroads of my life
I have never seen this coming
I have never climbed so high
I have never thought this could
Deep down inside
Mind game suicide
One rhought, one damn
How to stop a bad plan.
Shadows behind
More people die young
Lost friends go out
Nightmares around
I stay at the crossroad of the life
Who says where to turn -
To the left or right?
I stay at the crossroad of the life
Who says where's the wrong way -
Where's the truth or lie?
Wrong way suicide
Bad people behind
True story of life
Destroys my plans.
Cold winds of change
Push me to church
I don't believe
I fell strange
I stay at the crossroad of the life
Who says where to turn -
To the left or right?
I stay at the crossroad of the life
Who says where's the wrong way -
I've been up and I've been down
I lost my way and
Nothing seems right today
Nothing will go my way
I pick myself up off the ground
And find my way
Wish something would change today
Wish somehow I'd find my way
I woke up in a daze
I don't know what to do or say
I feel the weight of the world
Holding me back
Just like yesterday
I drank too much to numb the pain
Of the everyday
Of the everyday
It all leads up
Leads up to now
The way I choose to live my life
I've been up and I've been down
I lost my way and
Nothing seems right today
Nothing will go my way
I pick myself up off the ground
And find my way
Wish something would change today
Wish somehow I'd find my way
What more can I say
My life's been stuck in disarray
I feel the weight of the world
Holding me back
Now I see the way
I found myself through all the pain
Of the everyday
Of the everyday
It all leads up
Leads up to now
The way I choose to live my life
I've been up and I've been down
I lost my way and
Nothing seems right today
Nothing will go my way
I pick myself up off the ground
And find my way
Wish something would change today
Wish somehow I'd find my way
Wish I could find my way
I think I found my way
I don't feel so bad today
I walk this path and see
Find out what's in me
I've been up and I've been down
I lost my way and
Nothing seems right today
Nothing will go my way
I pick myself up off the ground
And find my way
Wish something would change today
Wish somehow I'd find my way
Wish somehow I'd find my way
Wish somehow I'd find my way
Wish somehow I'd find my way
I pick myself up off the ground
And find my way
I wish something would change today
We’re @ a crossroads, what you gonna do
I’m headed to the station, where are u gonna go
U know this train don’t stop for anyone
But it stopped for u
Can u tell the truth
I saved time for u
Can you tell the truth
I saved it all for u
She hates my songs, I detest her fucking friends
She loves matinees, I’m a late night type of guy
U know this train don’t stop for anyone
But it stopped for u
Can u tell the truth
I saved time for u
Can you tell the truth
I saved it all for u
I saved it all, I saved it all etc
Mama please come put your arms around me
'Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I wont be long before I'm gone
I don't understand, how can this be?
Why'd you take your aggravations out on me?
And why'd you leave me here?
So far away from home, my life can go on
But I gotta be strong, keep on holdin' on
Mama please come put your arms around me
'Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I wont be long before I'm gone
Mama can't you hear me callin' you?
If you don't hear my cry
What am I supposed to do?
Should I embrace the one
That snatched my soul?
What it really means
I'll never know which way I should go
Mama please come put your arms around me
'Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I wont be long before I'm gone
Mama please come put your arms around me
'Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I wont be long before I'm gone
Left or right, up or down, these are choices
The end of this life represents the choices we make
The decision to live your life out of tune
With your true nature, limits your external existence this is sad
Beyond this world, beyond this dimension lies invredible knowledge
If we close our minds with fear and ignorance we can't perceive these
Philosophies the universe is based on energy and continuous flow
This energy can be tapped and used we should learn
To use our power od deduction
We should know what to eat from our physiological makeup
We should know that destruction of great minds is monstrous
Because the emotion we posses is human
All these choices are a great lateral, a giant matrix up
A series of crossroads we must travel choose wisely
Mama please come put your arms around me
'Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I won't be long before I'm gone
Mama please come put your arms around me
'Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
It remains to be seen
To which side I'm gonna lean
Which road will I choose?
What will I gain, what will I lose?
Am I gonna come to my senses
And see the light in letting go of what I want
In order to do what's right?
Oh, but right by whom? By me or by you?
It's just a crossroads
Is the light red or is it green?
I'm getting mixed signals
I really don't know what they mean
If I wasn't temporarily blind
If I could only take one look I know I'd find
How simple it all is
How much do I really own this?
Is enough not enough? Am I really in love?
Or is it nothing but a test?
Well, if you wanna try me
Go ahead and be my guest
'Cause I myself would like to go
Which way we're to go, I guess it's undecided yet
So I'll take it slow, but as I regain my sight
I know I will do what's right
Indeed it's just a crossroads
Now that I'm willing to clearly see
Things for what they really are
And not what I'd like them to be
There's nothing left to think about
I know the way now, I've no more doubt
I let go and release
I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above me
Save this poor girl if you please
Down at the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Down at the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Hmm,nobody seemed to know me
Everybody passed me by
Oh,Im goin' down to Rosedale
Take you right here by my side
Oh,Im goin' down to Rosedale
Take you right here by my side
You still have a house baby
Down by the river side
Oh no no
Woo hoo
Oh no Oh no
Well now run you can run
Tell my friend boy Billie Brown
Now run you can run
Tell my friend boy Billie
Lord Im down at the crossroads
If I only knew why red rivers flow,
Away from a life in torment,
I can't conceive why a glorified lifestyle like this is so appealing,
Why are there no other choices?
Why do we feel this is how we need to survive?
If I only knew why death surrounds,
I can't conceive your reasoning,
If I only knew what will be left,
Shattered hopes and dreams,
Your excuse is unacceptable,
There's a story not often told about the artist who sold his soul
And he dreamed he could pave the road
And so it goes
He bleeds he fights he crawls
But now's the time to make a sound
It's funny how we all fall down
Don't give up
It's time to embrace the night rise up and chase the sky
now Im standin alone at the crossroads,
Everything has led to this ,
Everything reminds me of you,
Ive hurt everyone I know,
and now Im standin alone at the crossroads,
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to singe your skin,
I guess your mom & dad were right
I have sunk to a new low
and now Im standin alone at the crossroads,
At the crossroads I threw in the towel,
At the crossroads I spent my final hour,
She looked at me with her black whole eyes,
I was overtaken by her disguise,
I was no spotless lamb as I was led to the slaughter, I sold my soul,
and now Im standin alone at the crossroads,
at the crossroads I threw in the towel,
at the crossroads I spent my final hour,
Your anguished screams in agony
Your tortured sobs so unsettling
Broken faith that tortures me
Your heart left beating, bleeding on the street
Never got to say goodbye to you
Never got to live my life through you
Never saw my father cry till you died
A piece of me died too. with you
All that's left are memories
of the good times and the legacies
Stole from my family
Your heart left beating, bleeding on the street
Crossroads, at the crossroads
see you at the crossroads,
so this is where we part,
and separate two hearts
so this is how it ends,
one climbs and one descends
I'd follow you anywhere,
but they don't like my kind up there
I'd follow you anywhere, anywhere but there
only a lifetime we shared,
and we travelled the road that few dare
no one has yet lived to tell,
just how far is heaven from hell
who knows we might meet again
who knows when eternity ends
till then I bid you farewell
it's a long way from heaven to hell
go now and light up the skies
you'll be queen of the heavens tonight
and when eternity is done
I can still wait for another one
there's time for one more dream,
a dream of you and me
a dream that could not be,
never could be real
goodbye and take good care,
I hear it's nice up there
one kiss and I'll be well,
I see you standing at the shore
of stony mountains cold and gray
Our thoughts collide my heart feels warm
We must awake before break of the day
Remember moments left behind
Like stormy seas swept time away
These memories so safe and sound
We must awake before break of the day
Like shadows formed of a human lie
and fragile words which seemed so wise
no luring masks no cruel disguise
Redemption lies in between our soul
Imagine twilight clouds and shame
undoubtful dreams no hope in sight
We'll pass our way but leave no strain
Redemption lies in between our soul
Again she fled, left me behind
With nothing but sadness on my mind
Again she fled, left me behind
With nothing but sadness on my mind
Around the corner it may wait
Another lucky call of fate
I saw it passing by today
Tomorrow you will cross my way
I'll take the secret paths that run
Towards a devastating sun
To reach the place my dreams have shown
That will disclose to us alone
When winter's passed you'll sure be home
Your voice immortal in my head
All hope is gone I feel alone
We won't awake before break of the day
Your arms like silver shimmering
Embrace me with familiar warmth
Farewell to all I knew before
We won't awake before break of the day
Again she fled, left me behind
With nothing but sadness on my mind
Again she fled, left me behind
With nothing but sadness on my mind
Around the corner it may wait
Another lucky call of fate
I saw it passing by today
Tomorrow you will cross my way
I'll take the secret paths that run
Towards a devastating sun
To reach the place my dreams have shown
That will disclose to us alone
Around the corner it may wait
Another lucky call of fate
I saw it passing by today
Tomorrow you will cross my way
I'll take the secret paths that run
Towards a never lasting sun
To reach the place my dreams have shown
Crossroads, a place where rogues abide
waiting for the pain of strangers
and present them to their fates
each fighter bends
they fall again in the dark from the ghost of their blood
how do you call us? another price to pay.
Too many changes, that's rough
some give you life and free
and free you from the wild way that is living hate
Crossroads, a place where time's divine
gambling is the way of loners
where we leave them to be (fake?)
infected minds emerge on the edge of the death of their
songs
how do you hurt them? you know the lies, you said.
And things never change that thought
we'll give you life and free
We're at that place we've seen before
Where friendship starts to fall apart
People change and drift as years pass by
But I never thought it'd be you and I
I thought our beliefs would remain
Throughout the years they'd grow and change
to reflect all that we've come to know
But at their heart they'd be the same
It feels like we've out of time/
We're at the crossroads of our lives
And our direction's not the same
Spent half your life fighting for this place
Now you give up because of your age
You found a home when you first came around
But what helped you then now holds you down
So now that we've run out of time I have one thing to say
Does growing old mean giving in?
Well not for me
We spent so many years out chasing all our dreams
But that's not where all this ends for me
And I can say that these values mean more every day
fail to decide which road i should take before my time
grows old
have to be sure that i am prepared to do what i've been
told
but i'm scared of what i might love
tell me, is there no other way?
i'm supposed to be my highness
and i'm nothing but a slave
leaving it all away
they said that to be good one has to prove that the
path is all clean
doing the right things, helping the poor ones, loving
your fine queen
but i'm scared of what i might love
tell me, is there no other way?
i'm supposed to be my highness
and i'm nothing but a slave
what if your thoughts, your dreams are all wrong?
what if my love is just pain on your tongue?
what if i spit on your idols when you pray?
will you change?
try not to worry, cheap is the worst me that you'll
ever know
i'm glad i refused your known ways of bleeding, your
