I'll Go

Guess I'll go out on my own

I know it is a lonesome road

I know it is a path untook

I know, but still I'll go

As I wander through the dark

She beckons me away from harm

To what do I owe this lucky charm?

Alas, I do not know

She names no price, no cost, no debt

I know the toll is in my head

Oh, curse this wretched, empty bed

I know why you must go

I'll go

Down into the darkness, I'll descend

Guided by the words of a good friend

Buried to my neck in quicksand

I know, but still I'll go

I know, but still I'll go

Guess I'll go out on my own

I know it is a lonesome road

I know it is a path untook

Oh, carry me away from here

There is no joy, there is no cheer

How should I conquer this fear?

Alas, I did not know

And unlike the prophets did suggest

Oh, they'll be welcome there instead

The cursed demon finally dead

And so

Down into the darkness, I'll descend

Guided by the words of a good friend

Buried to my neck in quicksand

I don't want the dream to ever end

And I'm sure that some day we'll meet again

But I never sent that letter that I penned

Walk with me through the darkness, hand in hand

Walk with me through the darkness, hand in hand

Walk with me through the darkness, hand in hand
