As I walked along
The supposed golden path
I was confronted
By mysterious spectre
He pointed to the graveyard
Over on yonder hill
I paused in cosmic reflection
Confused on wondering
Of how I came to die
Hm!
I was confused
Coz if I was dead
How and why did I die
And I composed myself
And decided I should face it
Then I stood paralyzed
On the supposed golden path
And I was confronted
By powerful demon force
And there was the devil
And we spoke his words
Flowed like glowing lava from the mouth of a volcano
And I said:
Help me, Lord!!
I found myself in some kinda hell
But I did not believe in heaven and hell
World in opposites kind of reality
But I gained control of myself
And decided to press on
As I walked along
The supposed golden path
I was trembling with fear
All the lions and the wizards yet to come
I seen in the distance
Silver mountains rising high in the clouds
And a voice from above did whisper
Some shining answer from the moon
Please forgive me
I never meant to hurt you
The supposed golden path
I was confronted
By mysterious spectre
He pointed to the graveyard
Over on yonder hill
I paused in cosmic reflection
Confused on wondering
Of how I came to die
Hm!
I was confused
Coz if I was dead
How and why did I die
And I composed myself
And decided I should face it
Then I stood paralyzed
On the supposed golden path
And I was confronted
By powerful demon force
And there was the devil
And we spoke his words
Flowed like glowing lava from the mouth of a volcano
And I said:
Help me, Lord!!
I found myself in some kinda hell
But I did not believe in heaven and hell
World in opposites kind of reality
But I gained control of myself
And decided to press on
As I walked along
The supposed golden path
I was trembling with fear
All the lions and the wizards yet to come
I seen in the distance
Silver mountains rising high in the clouds
And a voice from above did whisper
Some shining answer from the moon
Please forgive me
I never meant to hurt you

Heard this track again for the 1st time in years now re plussed on my spoty.. I've often wondered if the lyrics are to do with the Biblical narrative Saul's conversion (from the golden path) on the road to Damascus culminating with his astonishment and terror at his encounter with the risen christ at exactly 2.49 accompanied by angels in song, Saul (St Paul) is continually reminded and haunted in this section amidst the throng of agasp angels in praise, of Christs's suffering and the suffering of those Saul himself persecuted and how they suffered at his hands (the hard kind of bell toll at the beginning of each bar is a kind of give away that it is a divine encounter the way i hear it) . His voice being the only one left at the end suggests this is his second chance and the vision/event has passed.
