about

Inspired by the old tale about selling your soul to the Devil at The Crossroads. I had to ask my friend, amazing beat boxer and rapper, Terell Woods aka 'Carnage the Executioner' and also aka 'The Soul Snatcher,' to make an appearance as 'The Shadow Devil'. Not only did he write a killer spoken word bit for the song but he ended up making some crazy sounds and loops, as he does. He's a needle scratching wax with his mouth. Loops of dope sounds and beats, we're all in on this fun!

lyrics

Ah ooo
Ah ooo
Summoning at midnight,
the shadow at the crossroads.
What will you decide?
Will you make it so?
Do you recognize?
What's in your heart, oh?
Desire makes you blind.
And so the story goes.
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha,
Hands on 3 and 9.
The second slips your strength won't hold.
Memories run dry.
Who? Why? Ya just don't know.
So struck you fly
Into the dreams of nevermore.
Glazed and canyeyed.
When the sands turned gold you swore.
Are you into parties?
Conquering the art scene?
Playing on a star team?
Singing at the Opry?
A house on a nice beach?
Luxury car fleet?
Taking in the life sweet?
Reality is your dreams.
Are you into parties?
Conquering the art scene?
Playing on a star team?
Singing at the Opry?
A house on a nice beach?
Luxury car fleet?
Taking in the life sweet?
Reality is your dreams.
Nine feet tall
Crawling up a wall.
The bottom's out of sight.
There's nothing from before.
Madness in the mind.
Longing for love.
Lost in the gold.
The Devil's Bid is high.
You'll get everything that money can buy.
Greetings
Weak, limited mobility, mortal flesh creature
Let's begin!
Embracing consumption and vanity are not,
cardinal or deadly sins.
Freedom to live how you desire.
Vast riches beyond belief!
Still you trust God?
Denounce eternal happiness?
Live poor and resist more?
You'd endure less pain from the business end of my pitchfork!
On this oversized toilet called planet earth,
I promise festivity.
You must understand it's worth.
But in-return,
part of you,
I must hold after.
Sincerely yours.
The Soul Snatcher.
Summoning at Midnight, the shadow at the crossroads.
What will you decide?
Will you make it so?
Do you recognize?
What's in your heart, Oh?
Desire makes you blind.
And so the story goes.
