[Verse 1]
Guess I'll go out on my own
I know it is a lonesome road
I know it is the path untook
I know but still I'll go

[Verse 2]
As I wander through the dark
She beckons me away from harm
To what do I owe this lucky charm?
Alas, I do not know

[Verse 3]
She names no price, no cost, no debt
I know the toll is in my head
Oh, curse this wretched empty bed
I know why you must go

[Chorus]
I'll go
Down into the darkness I'll descend
Guided by the words of a good friend
Buried to my neck in quicksand

[Bridge]
I know but still I'll go
I know but still I'll go
[Verse 4]
Guess I'll go out on my own
I know it is a lonesome road
I know it is the path untook

[Verse 5]
Oh, carry me away from her
There is no joy, there is no cheer
How shall I conquer this fear?
Alas, I do not know

[Verse 6]
And unlike the prophets did suggest
All will be welcome there instead
The cursed demon finally dead

[Chorus]
And so
Down into the darkness I'll descend
Guided by the words of a good friend
Buried to my neck in quicksand

[Outro]
I don't want that dream to ever end
And I'm sure that someday we'll meet again
But I never sent that letter that I penned
Walk with me through the darkness, hand-in-hand
Walk with me through the darkness, hand-in-hand
Walk with me to the darkness, hand-in-hand
