On the Road to Perdition

I met a man on the road to Perdition He said that in my life I'd gone off my mission He further stated that I should get back on the path Or risk exposing my soul to eternal wrath I turned to him and I asked who he was And my whole being puckered and recoiled because What I saw was but a twisted reflection Full of hate and lies and malicious infection Reflect, look back in retrospect What will the future add as your epithet? The Magnificent, the lonely or the bold What will your legacy be when you're no longer old? What will you leave in the future for mankind? When they examine your life just what will they find? Conduct yourself in a manner you wish to be Remembered for the remainder of all eternity I asked if he was me and he looked disappointed and said "What? You think that you're the annointed? You best reflect on all your actions and your thoughts And face the reality of everything you begot." I felt my heart grow cold and my body so hot At the realization of everything I had wrought I fell to my knees and begged to restore my soul And he laughed and said "Only you can make you whole." Reflect, look back in retrospect What will the future add as your epithet? The Magnificent, the lonely or the bold What will your legacy be when you're no longer old? What will you leave in the future for mankind? When they examine your life just what will they find? Conduct yourself in a manner you wish to be Remembered for the remainder of all eternity Reflect, look back in retrospect What will the future add as your epithet? The Magnificent, the lonely or the bold What will your legacy be when you're no longer old? What will you leave in the future for mankind? When they examine your life just what will they find? Conduct yourself in a manner you wish to be Remembered for the remainder of all eternity
