Backroad - Passage of the Nameless

[Intro] I heard your prayer on the wind... I heard it... You asked for the back road, Brandon. But the back road goes deeper than the dirt. [Verse 1] Are the spirits singing? Huh? Yeah Yeah, welcome to the Gold Road I stand in the sunset, barefoot on the blacktop My golden glyphs glowing, refusing to stop. I finish the hole just to bury the pain ‘Cause you can’t put a soul in a box in the rain. You rose from the mud like a tadpole, swimming in the spark Now I work in the sunset, leaving you in the dark. You burned all the bridges? The fire is bright! I'm using the smoke just to signal the light! Yeah No name on the stone is a trick for the wraith I bury your body, I carry the faith. So leave all the chains and the weight of the load You’re finally free on the Infinite Road. [Chorus] So rise! Pass through the Flower State, into the ether! Rise! Walk past the Reaper, you don’t need to meet him either! The road doesn't end where the pavement turns to dust The spirit realm is open, and the passage is a must. Go with the setting sun, let the gold turn to light, turn to light... Safe travels, young warrior, into the endless night. [Verse 2] Now listen real close, ‘cause the veil is getting thin The vibration is violent, it rattles the skin. When you cross that line, don’t look at the Coyote He thrives on the lies and the fear in the votary. He loves a man with a tank full of gas But he can’t touch a spirit that’s ready to pass. Keep your gaze forward, keep the chin to the sky You did it for blood, so you never really die. Never die... The ancestors wait by the river of stars They don’t count the cash, they just count up the scars. You carried the weight, now the weight carries you The Un-named Stone is the gate you walk through. [Bridge] Your city is watching... But they can’t see this part. Only the fire that burns in the heart. You said you weren’t afraid of the hate? Then you got nothing to fear at the gate. Go on now... Go on... [Outro] You made it far, kid. The mud is gone. You’re clean now. The back road took you exactly where you needed to be. See you in another life, soul brother!
