The wind is howlin' the rain pours down Eyes are blood-shot heartbeat pounds Lights go out the whole world's in darkness The ground is tremblin', dogs are barkless In the sky there appears a great light Burnin' all the flesh off the creatures of the night Ah, cryin' in a childless tone Terrified of dyin' a painful death alone Don't smile lest the innocent child The power of God is gonna get you through [incomprehensible] Throw like a hit from the best Take it in a slump, ha ha, feel it in your chest Conquerin' the world with the words Leadin' the children like herds I can feel it buildin', I'm about to explode I'm walkin' on the crossroads People livin' in a shack at the crossroads Little kids sellin' crack at the crossroads Let me stab you in the back at the crossroads Everybody's gettin' jacked walkin' on the crossroads People livin' in a shack at the crossroads Little kids sellin' crack at the crossroads Let me stab you in the back at the crossroads Everybody's gettin' jacked at the crossroads Violins and trumpets play 25 thousand people in a golden sleigh On there way to the promised land Deliverance but yet some don't understand Rough on a late night thrill After midnight kill or be killed Soldiers, warriors, mercenaries Crossin' each other on the combat zone Supreme power on the throne Lightning strikes in every home Terrified men run down the street So many dead bodies, it's hard to eat Come, we gotta rise above the wall To see what no man has seen before Blindin' light that got you through the night God is on your side, to got in a fight People livin' in a shack at the crossroads Little kids sellin' crack at the crossroads Let me stab you in the back at the crossroads Everybody's gettin' jacked walkin' on the crossroads People livin' in a shack at the crossroads Little kids sellin' crack at the crossroads Let me stab you in the back at the crossroads Everybody's gettin' jacked at the crossroads Homicide, suicide, death, boom, ain't nobody left Ooh, it's startin' to take effect You're on your knees, you're scared to death Tornados with a thousand people spinnin' One fight at the cross and now God is winin' The whole Earth cracks in half The sea turns red from the blood bath Abandoned buildings burned and two remain Terrified you feel the fire blaze, the ground can't hold your weight You reach out to grab the pearly gates Who clocked this fuck not from space? Never again will you see the human race 19 angels leadin' the devil straight to hell, torment, pain What you're seein' here, you can't explain All your life some men we played the game Never realize that there's a flame People livin' in a shack at the crossroads Little kids sellin' crack at the crossroads Let me stab you in the back at the crossroads Everybody's gettin' jacked walkin' on the crossroads People livin' in a shack at the crossroads Little kids sellin' crack at the crossroads Let me stab you in the back at the crossroads Everybody's gettin' jacked at the crossroads People livin' in a shack at the crossroads Little kids sellin' crack at the crossroads Let me stab you in the back at the crossroads Everybody's gettin' jacked you're walkin' on the crossroads People livin' in a shack at the crossroads Little kids sellin' crack at the crossroads Let me stab you in the back at the crossroads Everybody's gettin' jacked at the crossroads ...
