At the Crossroads

Been fighting battles and fighting demons Doesn't matter what you believe in Have you lived, when you die Will you be satisfied You took the road less traveled Lost yourself down in the gravel And now you've come to a place A crossroads where the devil waits He said, what's a soul to a wanderer What's a heart when it's full of pain Have you ever stopped to wonder If you must carry it all the way You can lighten your load here The righteous always do But you don't have to trust me Look in my mirror and see The stark and naked truth I'm growing tired, growing weary It feels like no one can see me Did I live, have I died What have I sacrificed I took the road that called me Got to the end and what did I see Was it worth what I gave Then the words from the devil came What's a soul to a wanderer What's a heart when it's full of pain Have you ever stopped to wonder If you must carry it all the way You can lighten your load here The righteous always do But you don't have to trust me Look in my mirror and see The stark and naked truth Looking at myself, I clearly lost sight Who called me didn't matter If I did what was right I had the world on my shoulders And though I couldn't hold her, I tried The grief I bear is one I share I refuse to lose myself again So in answer to you, my friend What's a soul to a wanderer What's a heart when it's full of pain Yes I often stop to wonder If I must carry it all the way If I lighten my load here Who I am I lose Yes, I know what I see It's not easy to keep But I must own the truth
