[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Travelling through time (In the hearts of slaves)
Nature flickers (Through the day and night)
(Cruelty and kindness) Chaos and creation
Many faces, many names, never sure what's black and white
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to make it to the crossroads
But my eyes begin to fail
[Chorus 1]
Protector of the travelling man, the keeper of the crossroads
Ancient myths and caravans, open doors to secret codes
Protector of the travelling man, the keeper of the crossroads
Ancient myths and caravans, open doors to secret codes
[Verse 2]
Reaching the threshold (Between four sides of life)
Not here nor there (Brings out the inner child)
Every cross with every zero helps us to decide
The actions that we undertake (Knowledge will provide)
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to make it to the crossroads
But my eyes begin to fail
[Chorus 2]
Protector of the travelling man, the keeper of the crossroads
Ancient myths and caravans, open doors to secret codes
Protector of the travelling man, the keeper of the crossroads
Ancient myths and caravans, open doors to secret codes
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Convergence of realities, commonalities
Between theory and phenomena, the silent devotees
Bringing out the fool in man he wants to show the way
Intersecting points of view can lead to disarray
[Chorus 3]
Eshu - You know I'm caught between two worlds
Eshu - Into the void I am hurled
Eshu - I find I'm neither here nor there
Eshu - Help me now before I fall into despair
[Verse 4]
He fools us time and time again, walk away my friend
Another wrong direction, a rolling of dice
Wearing black or wearing red depends on where you stand
A ghostly apparition takes you by the hand
[Chorus 4]
Eshu - You know I'm caught, I am caught between two worlds
Eshu - Into the void I am hurled
Eshu - I find I'm neither here nor there
Eshu - Help me now before I fall into despair
Eshu - You know I'm caught, I am caught between two worlds
Eshu - Into the void I am hurled
Eshu - I find I'm neither here nor there
Eshu - Help me now before I fall into despair
[Bridge]
On the edge of every path our minds can be confused
Our journey only just begun the guide is not excused
Offerings and choices from the Guardian of the Door
The point at which we make the choice dictates the inner core
[Verse 5]
How many decisions can breed reality?
From the mundane to the magical, there's no guarantee
Are we all on the same path? Are we heading to the light?
Are we going through the right door? Will we all reunite?
[Refrain]
(When will we all reunite?)
When will we all reunite? (Will we all reunite?)
[Verse 6]
No the truth is what we seek, it's everything we are
Have we found the right way or have we gone too far?
There's no way we can turn back if we can't reach the cross
On the only road to reason, will we all reunite?
[Refrain]
When will we all reunite? (Will we all reunite?)
When will we all reunite? (When will we all reunite?)
When will we all reunite? (When will we all reunite?)
When will we all reunite?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 5]
Protector of the travelling man, the keeper of the crossroads
Ancient myths and caravans, open doors to secret codes
Protector of the travelling man, the keeper of the crossroads
Ancient myths and caravans, open doors to secret codes
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 7]
Will you carry me home at the end of my time?
An offering of peace amid the confusion
Will Ifa arise and heal the broken heart?
And cure the cosmic grand illusion
[Chorus 6]
Forming together, fates intertwined
Elements brought from the dawn of the age (The dawn of the age)
Languages long since forgotten brought forth
Tongues made of fire dancing through the rage
[Verse 8]
The dark horse shines, the restlessness grows
As the blood starts to flow from the cracks in the earth
Speaking all with the same heart and mind
The balance will shift as the virgin gives birth
[Chorus 7]
Forming together, fates intertwined
Elements brought from the dawn of the age (The dawn of the age)
Languages long since forgotten brought forth
Tongues made of fire dancing through the rage
Forming together, fates intertwined
Elements brought from the dawn of the age (The dawn of the age)
Languages long since forgotten brought forth
Tongues made of fire dancing through the rage
[Post-Chorus]
Through the rage
[Verse 9]
Travelling through time (In the hearts of slaves)
Nature flickers (Through the day and night)

[Verse 10]
And so I look back on my time
And wonder if there's anything I could have changed
I hope you know how hard I tried
To always take the path of light
And even though sometimes I lost
The part of me that should be ever faithful
I tried to look upon the cross
And hold on to what's right
[Chorus 8]
I listen to your voice
Your outstretched arms, they guide me
I hold on to your love
I hold on to your love
I have no other choice
Your gentle spirit revives me
I hold on to your love
I hold on to your love
[Verse 11]
And all the choices still remain
And many questions that are left unanswered
But I can see through all the pain
The right way every time
[Chorus 9]
I listen to your voice
Your outstretched arms, they guide me
I hold on to your love
I hold on to your love
I have no other choice
Your gentle spirit revives me
I hold on to your love
I hold on, I am for you
I hold on to, I hold on to your love
[Outro]
I'm holding on to your love
Yes, I'm holding, I'm holding, I'm holding on
Holding on to your love
Holding, holding, I'm holding on
I'm holding on, I'm holding on to
I'm holding on to your
I'm holding on to your love
