As I walked along
The supposed golden path
I was confronted
By a mysterious specter (specter)
He pointed to the graveyard
Over on yonder hill
I paused in cosmic reflection
Confused and wondering
Of how I came to die to die (to die)

Hmmm I was confused
For if I was dead
How and why did I die
But I composed myself
And decided I should face him

But I stood paralyzed
On the supposed golden path
And I was confronted
By a powerful demon force
They said it was the devil
And when he spoke his words flowed like glowing lava
From the mouth of a volcano
And I said help me lord (help me lord)
I found myself in some kind of hell (kind of hell)

But I did not believe in a
Heaven and hell world of opposites kind of reality
And I gained control of myself
And I decided to press on

And as I walked along
The supposed golden path
I was trembling with fear
All the lions and wizards yet to come
I seen in the distance
Silver mountains rising high and the clouds
And a voice from above did whisper
Some shining answer from the womb

Please forgive me I never meant to hurt you
As I walked along
Please forgive me (as I walked along)
I never meant to hurt you (as I walked along)
As I walked along
Please forgive me (as I walked along)
I never meant to hurt you (as I walked along)
As I walked along
Please forgive me I never meant to hurt you
