Crossroads

Avenged Sevenfold · Live in the LBC and Diamonds in the Rough [2008]

I've been travelling for so long, so lost till I stumbled upon

Two roads in front of me, I had to take my time

To the right I can see a church, I took a step in that direction first

But to the left there was a watering hole where they were whisky drunk

And now that's where I wanna pray



The fire down here goes on and on



If I was perfect then this would be easy

Either road is plausible, on both I could drown

I walk through the center with no rules to guide me

I realize it's difficult

But now I can see



There's gotta be another way to go, a way that's much more feasible

A combination of all these lies, a central path without choosing a side

I make decisions one at a time, and no I never say I'm always right

I'm confident that when I stand on my own

You'll see the truest form of a man when I'm shining through



The fire down here goes on and on



If I was perfect then this would be easy

Either road is plausible on both I could drown

I walk through the center with no rules to guide me

I realize it's difficult

But now I can see



Oh, I hear it now, all the religious rhythms

(You're a sinner, you're a sinner, you're a sinner)



The left isn't better, it's just more of the same

Condemning all these people for what they believe

I'll climb to the top of their mountain again

No one is going to save me this way

And the closer to the top I get the more they take aim

But I'm not you



I may not be perfect but I've always been true

I may not be worthy in your eyes

Climb up from the bottom for the last time

The last one, the last one, the last time



If I was perfect then this would be easy

Either road is plausible on both I could drown

I walk through the center with no rules to guide me

I realize it's difficult

But now I can see -Yeah!
