lyrics

When I was a young boy singing
My momma said to me
Speak softly son you’ll find you’re in the company of thieves
Who’ll steal your heart and rob your mind
They’ll leave you cold and blind
Lifeless searching for yourself when you question are you kind

And it’s your life that you must live
It’s your love that you got to give
It’s your soul that you must find
Until the end of time

I met him at the crossroads where heaven spoke to me
Said watch out for the devil, babe, in the event that you should meet
He’ll tempt you with his golden eye
He’ll smile and watch you cry
He’ll strip you of your form to nothing more than do or die

It’s your strength when you are weak
It’s your hope when all is lost
It’s the truth that you must seek
No matter what the cost

Well it’s been some time with my pride aside when a voice came over me
It’s said cautious of yourself, my dear, and your idle company
They’ll take you to a place you’ll find
Disease, it breathes, it dines
And wasting all your life, in time you’ll find it such a crime
