Road Less Traveled
here i stand, on the precipice of eternity
gazing out, across the vast expanse that is me.
having to decide in one night forever who i will be
looking into the future to decide what to do with my past
Chorus
behind me lies the life of a man
morals in tact, skills in demand.
ahead is a fork in the road
and I will take the road less travelled
Verse 2
few mortals dare cross the threshold
dare approach the limits of tolerance
dare cross the line into the unknown
and this is where I must boldly go
Pre-Chorus
the answer lies in plain view
but the question begs to be forgotten
to one side lies happiness at unspoken cost
on the other- innocence lost
Chorus
behind me lies the life of a man
morals in tact, skills in demand.
ahead is a fork in the road
and I will take the road less travelled
Bridge
winged time with its outstretched talons
pulls me ever onward, affording me no rest
oh sweet night, hide me in your cloaked arms
and deliver me into the heart of darkness
Outro
time takes its horrid toll, each chime of its bell
turning and turning in the widening gyre
twas nobler to bear the slings and arrows
than to hide sorrow under happiness for eternity
