The Crossing

Mugsdaddy

I came to a Crossroads and decided to stay 3 days on my knees and my hands did I pray 

Along came a man cloaked in darkness and in light he was one of the Fallen this was his plight 

I'm here for your soul so let's strike a deal tell me your desires tell me what you feel 

No thanks I've been here long enough I'm leaving here today you can't turn your back on me that's not how the game is played 

No thank you no need to make a deal I spent my time a praying just to prove that you were real 

You pulled me from the fire now your soul is surely mine I'm not to be taken lightly you cannot just waste my time 

Our times have not been wasted in fact I've lightened your load you can no longer see the crossing now that you walked along this road 

So let me say this plainly this is not some silly deal God sent me here to find you now do you have the will 

He fell to his knees and he yelled to the sky just tell me where to start then I ended his life so quickly as I pushed my blade right through his heart 

I don't know if I saved his soul or condemned my own to Hell but I'm walking back towards the crossroads and only time will tell

      Ah the crossroads. Every third blues song finds its way to or from a crossroads in life. Good writing.

        If you can put this to song you're good.
