Caleb Road, Road of Woe...Are You Ready to Go

Would you like to be scared?
Shivering he wondered did he dare...

Would you like to be scared?
Shuddering she wondered who would care...

0ne, two, three, four...
Shut the door...

Five, six, seven, eight...
Open the door, run through the gate...

Don't be late...

Who's that in the shadows???

Do you want to be scared?
Do you dare?
Will anyone care...?

Talk a walk..

One, two, three turn the corner...

Four, five, six...take a step...
Take a walk along Caleb road...

Whose shadow do you see...
Walk a little faster...don't miss a step.

A car is coming... hurry...hurry...

It is the car of dread...

Take a step, make it fast...run...run...run

Red and black...
Black and red...

There is no turning back...

Run...run...run...
Looking up...what do you see???

Whose voice do you hear???
The driver of the car has stopped...help is coming...

I'll be right back...so he says...

As the night grows old....
As your body grows cold...

Suddenly you know the phantom of Caleb road
The phantom of Caleb road is you...

Turning the corner again...

You take one step...take one more...
Hearing the children count once more...

One, two, three four...shut the door...

Close the gate...
Must you walk this road forever more...

Impatience caused you to not wait...
Sealing your fate...

Five, six, seven, eight...
All the gates are shut tight...
As the phantom of Caleb road walks through the night,

Awakening in the ditch ever so deep...
Tears to weep...

Walking, walking, step by step...

Soon the phantom seen will be your shadow...

Always stopping just where you were hit...
Stepping fast you try to pass by once again...
But never can you get far before the car once again lands you in the ditch...

One, two, three four...
You hear the words...you hear the slam of the door...

You lay and you wait...
Five, six, seven, eight...

Heaven's great gate you hear...
But wait...you say...not today...

Let me stay one more day...
I have not said goodbye...
It is too late...

Your soul is lifted from your body...

Tears will be wept...
Promises made won't be kept.

Looking back you see...
Another soon to be taken...
As the corner is turned one step is made on the path to eternity...

Caleb road haunted by day, haunted by night...

Death indwells those who walk along that road.
Caleb road a road of woe...

One, two, three...
Can't you see...

Four, five, six...
The one in the fix...

Seven, eight...
Eternity's shut the gate...

Nine, ten...
Your last step has been...

Eternity for you began that day...

The day that you placed your foot on Caleb road...
The road of woe...

Caleb road the road that closed for you...

Looking through the windows of eternity what do you see...
One, two three...

Someone soon to be taken by the phantom of Caleb road...

Haunting words said that day...
I'll be back...right back...help is on its way...

Echoing in to eternity are the sounds or your voice...

Help...help me please....

But no one came...
Four, five, six, seven...eight
Last words into eternity fall as between life and death is shut the great gate...

On Caleb road another life was lost...

Caleb road a road of woe...
Turning your steps on Caleb road...

You best be ready to go...
For the door to eternity creaks as it opens for you...
