At the Crossroads of Centuries

At the Crossroads of Centuries [Verse] The wind speaks loud in whispers low Carrying tales of what we know A spark of stars a trail of fire The past and future both conspire [Prechorus] Which road bends which way Which shadow learns to stay [Chorus] At the crossroads of centuries we stand One foot in the dust one in quicksand The echoes shout the silence pleads At the crossroads of centuries we bleed [Verse 2] Cobblestones crack beneath my feet Ghosts of kings and dreams that meet The compass spins the needle’s shy The map’s a riddle the answer’s sky [Bridge] Time’s a thief but a generous one Stealing our nights but giving us sun We hold the weight we drop the key Chained by the roots yet craving free [Chorus] At the crossroads of centuries we stand One foot in the dust one in quicksand The echoes shout the silence pleads At the crossroads of centuries we bleed
