Girard - Ravens at the Crossroads Lyrics

"Ravens at the Crossroads
(A Dark Country Ballad)

Verse 1:
The sun was sinking low behind the hill,
When I found myself at the crossroads still.
The wind was whisperin' through the trees,
And the shadows crept like ghosts on me.
I heard a cry from the sky above,
A mournful sound, a warning of love,
I looked ahead and there they flew,
A flock of ravens, black as the truth.

Chorus:
Ravens at the crossroads, circlin' 'round,
Feathers fallin' softly to the ground.
A sign of death, a reckoning near,
I felt the weight of all my fear.
I stood there frozen, couldn't move,
The ravens knew what I had to prove.
At the crossroads where the shadows grow,
The ravens watch what the darkness knows.

Verse 2:
I've been runnin' from a debt unpaid,
A sin I buried, but it never fades.
Now here I stand where two paths meet,
With the ravens callin' at my feet.
Their eyes were black, cold as the night,
A warning came, I knew it right.
I could feel the past come closing in,
The price of blood, the price of sin.

Chorus:
Ravens at the crossroads, circlin' 'round,
Feathers fallin' softly to the ground.
A sign of death, a reckoning near,
I felt the weight of all my fear.
I stood there frozen, couldn't move,
The ravens knew what I had to prove.
At the crossroads where the shadows grow,
The ravens watch what the darkness knows.

Bridge:
There's no escape from what's been done,
No mercy under the setting sun.
The raven's wings, they whisper truth,
There's no outrunnin' what's chasin' you.

Verse 3:
I took the road that led me west,
But the ravens followed, never rest.
Their cries grew louder as night fell down,
And death was waitin' in that quiet town.
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run,
With the crossroad's deal already done.
I turned to face the road ahead,
The ravens flew and silence spread.

Chorus:
Ravens at the crossroads, circlin' 'round,
Feathers fallin' softly to the ground.
A sign of death, a reckoning near,
I felt the weight of all my fear.
I stood there frozen, couldn't move,
The ravens knew what I had to prove.
At the crossroads where the shadows grow,
The ravens watch what the darkness knows.

Outro:
At the crossroads where my fate was sealed,
The ravens showed me the truth revealed.
A heavy heart, a soul to pay,
The ravens took my light away.
