Текст песни: The Crossroads + перевод

Many faces, many names, never sure what’s black and white

Try to make it to the crossroads

But my eyes begin to fail

Protector of the travelling man, the keeper of the crossroads

Ancient myths and caravans, open doors to secret codes

Reaching the threshold (Between four sides of life)

Not here nor there (Brings out the inner child)

Every cross with every zero helps us to decide

The actions that we undertake (Knowledge will provide)

Try to make it to the crossroads

But my eyes begin to fail

Convergence of realities, commonalities

Between theory and phenomena, the silent devotees

Bringing out the fool in man he wants to show the way

Intersecting points of view, can lead to disarray

Eshu… You know I’m caught between two worlds

Eshu… Into the void I am hurled

Eshu… I find I’m neither here nor there

Eshu… Help me now before I fall into despair

He fools us time and time again, walk away my friend

Another wrong direction, a rolling of dice

Wearing black or wearing red depends on where you stand

A ghostly apparition takes you by the hand

On the edge of every path our minds can be confused

Our journey only just begun the guide is not excused

Offerings and choices from the Guardian of the Door

The point at which we make the choice dictates the inner core

How many decisions give breed reality?

From the mundane to the magical, there’s no guarantee

Are we all on the same path? Are we heading to the light?

Are we going through the right door?

Will we all reunite? When will we all reunite?

No the truth is what we seek, it’s everything we are

Have we found the right way or have we gone too far?

There’s no way we can turn back if we can’t reach the cross

On the only road to reason

Will we all reunite? When will we all reunite?

Will you carry me home at the end of my time?

An offering of peace amid the confusion

Will Ifa arise and heal the broken heart?

And cure the cosmic grand illusion

Forming together, fates intertwined

Elements brought together from the dawn of the age

Languages long since forgotten brought forth

Tongues made of fire dancing through the rage

The dark horse shines, the restlessness grows

As the blood starts to flow from the cracks in the earth

Speaking all with the same heart and mind

The balance will shift as the virgin gives birth

Forming together, fates intertwined

Elements brought together from the dawn of the age

Languages long since forgotten brought forth

Tongues made of fire dancing through the rage

And so I look back on my time

And wonder if there’s anything I could have changed

I hope you know how hard I tried

To always take the path of light

And even though sometimes I lost

The part of me that should be ever faithful

I tried to look upon the cross and hold on to what’s right

I listen to your voice

Your outstretched arms they guide me

I hold on to your love, I hold on to your love

I have no other choice

Your gentle spirit revives me

I hold on to your love, I hold on to your love

And all the choices still remain

And many questions that are left unanswered

But I can see through all the pain

The right way every time…
