End Of The Road Lyrics


At the end of the road, he calls everyone home
And the fire will consume us, striking through to the bone
At the end of the road, you will soon hear him call
As the congregations crumble and the chapels will fallAnd the taste on your tongue, well, it comes, yeah, it comes
With the bittersweet pang of remorse and pain
Till the judgment is made the prosecution's won
The gavel has fallen and justice is doneThe courtroom clears, I'm left alone on the bench
My wife and children gone, along with the defense
The bailiff leads me back to my cell
Like the river man ferrying me to hell
I can't blame him to hate me for what Ive doneI hear them whispering in the hall
"You'll live and die by the gun"
All I can do is sit here and pray, I'll be forgiven on judgment dayTell my wife in our yard buried underneath the pine
There's a shoe box full of money, of which I never earned a dime
Use it to start over, the way things should've been
Live honest, love again tell my wife, tell my kids
I never meant for this to happenWhen they flipped the switch, please do not stay
I couldn't bear for you to remember me this way

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Indiana's Murder by Death (formerly known as Little Joe Gould) layers the vocal sounds of an old saloon with the haunting strings of a Hungarian folk dance and the hard driving rhythms of pure rock 'n' roll, producing what Stuff magazine has called "lush, orchestrated songs," somehow simultaneously reminiscent of Johnny Cash and Radiohead. Added to that thick and intriguing sound are a series of dark and ironic lyrics, combining the mood and tone of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds with the narrative force of The Decemberists or a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
