Satan at the Crossroads

I heard a song that helped me hang along When I was drowning in the creek And I don't know what the words are supposed to mean But they do cut deep Then I saw a fruit fly shoot out my nose I saw a spider crawl up my cheek Then a blizzard filled my vision I was snowed in for a week When I finally awoke The sleet had turned a crimson red The chatter amongst the streets Was now the wails of the dead I imagined if life had stayed the same Or I chose a different road instead It's safe to say that I can't complain when I remembered what I'd said It brought me down She wore the thorn of crowns in a shantytown I know it now It was the devil to who I made a vow It brought me down She wore the thorn of crowns in a shantytown I know it now It was the devil to who I made a vow I saw a man hanging from his neck For crimes he did not commit The real culprit had diamonds in his eyes And gold chunks in his spit As he watched the man hang he felt no ounce of pain He did not feel a bit He got what he wanted, as soon as he came He went off, split And as I saw him go, I noticed my hands caught tied in ropes A cackle behind my ears I turned to see a face framed in smoke She whispered "dear, feel no ounce of fear And don't hold on to hope It'll only get worse from here My best advice is just try to cope It brought me down She wore the thorn of crowns in a shantytown I know it now It was the devil to who I made a vow It brought me down She wore the thorn of crowns in a shantytown I know it now It was the devil to who I made a vow I've tasted the spit of a thousand sons and daughters That sit alone Atop a throne of glass built upon a nation carved in stone I only hope to ask that a god exists So one day they may atone For now, the ash falls across our fists And says that we're on our own And with fractured hands I thought of the tomb that was my abode With no body parts left to lose I saw her face at the crossroads And we gathered the sculptors Mimes and lovers To take back what was owed Before success was clear she disappeared As quick as the river flowed It brought me down She wore the thorn of crowns in a shantytown I know it now It was the devil to who I made a vow It brought me down She wore the thorn of crowns in a shantytown I know it now It was the devil to who I made a vow
