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
