Crooked Road

[Verse 1] Bright stars are falling beneath my feet Their deadened glow strikes into my eyes My feet are walking a road so cold The road pulls me onward, beyond…. [Chorus] Beyond reason, beyond faith, beyond the edge, beyond the line, Beyond meaning, beyond pain, beyond the plight…. It pulls me, the crooked road pulls me And I walk into the void [Verse 2] On this dead road, the living tracks remain Of those who once trod here Those who sought an exit from the emptiness Sought, but only fell deeper [Bridge] Through the veil of mist, through the milky haze, I hear a Call that whispers to me: "Go!" To where there are no beginnings, nowhere to be loved, Where the past burns away…. But a shadow flickered, a familiar gaze, From time's mirror, a fear smiled at me. And I understood – the road that led back, Intentionally led me to a dead end…. [Chorus] Beyond reason, beyond faith, beyond the edge, beyond the line, Beyond meaning, beyond pain, beyond the plight…. It pulls me, the crooked road pulls me And I walk into the void
