Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As I walked along the supposed golden path
I was confronted by a mysterious specter
He pointed to the graveyard over on yonder hill
I paused in cosmic reflection, confused and wonderin'
Of how I came to die
[Verse 2]
Hmm, I was confused for if I was dead
How and why did I die?
But I composed myself
And decided I should face Him
[Verse 3]
But I stood paralyzed on the supposed golden path
And I was confronted by a powerful demon force
And he said he 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!
[Verse 4]
I found myself in some kind of hell
But I did not believe in a heaven and hell, world in opposites
Kind of reality
And I gained control of myself
And I decided to press on
[Verse 5]
And as I walked along the supposed golden path
I was trembling with fear, oh, 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
[Verse 6]
Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you
Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you
Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you
Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you
Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you
Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you
Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you
