Roads of Eternity

The sun is always shining down on this road
Prophets used to say that it's paved with gold
Truth is more extraordinary than the fiction
A giant rides out wearing a steel tipped crown

Potholes, and torn concrete litter this road
Everyone wants to ride it by the busload
But no one thinks to repair the road to Heaven
Finding it seems hard enough to make it in

How many souls litter this broken road?
Their feverish pacing, the shoulder erodes
Trapped between Heaven and earth
Wondering if the wait will be worth
Eternity



Go back! Try again, you peon!
The road is under construction
Heaven is full and you couldn't
Even pay the toll to repent

You put too much weight
On you're soul, eternal fate
Time to pay for your share
Not many squeak in by a hair

The road of eternity goes on
Some take the exit ramps along
Endings are hard to come by
Beginnings are all in your sight
