I only travel alone, so as to keep them away.
And if I never fear, I will keep the wolves at bay.
And if they strike me again, I will fight with all I can,
To meet my maker now, in a strange new land.
There is a time for me. There is a time for you.
We’ll meet at the crossing, and see who is who.
Is this really the end, or am I starting again?
My faith’s final test, or my fate’s final pain?
Don’t close those shackles yet. Don’t make me walk my last steps.
The noose is getting tighter, as I take my last breath.
There is a time for me. There is a time for you.
We’ll meet at the crossing, and see who is who.
There’s a place you go when you take your last breath.
It no longer looks of life, and smells of death.
I only travel alone, so as to keep them away.
And if I never fear, I will keep the wolves at bay.
And if they strike me again, I will fight with all I can,
To meet my maker now, in a strange new land.
There is a time for me. There is a time for you.
We’ll meet at the crossing, and see who is who.
