Emerald Causeway
Journey of Souls: Weighed on the Emerald Causeway
Lyrics
Many have tried, many have fallen
Many have attempted, but many have failed in their endeavors.
Some men lie, some men steal, I know many who went all in
Some individuals deceive and steal; the speaker knows those who took significant risks.
Many have died, before they found their calling
Several people have perished before discovering their true purpose or vocation.
Some saved lives, some men feel that they're above the weighing
Some have saved lives, while others believe they are exempt from moral judgment.
What will the scales weigh?
Pondering the outcome of moral judgment, questioning the consequences of one's actions.
When they measure up your good deeds
Considering the measurement of one's positive actions when judged.
Will you be castaway? On the emerald causeway
Speculating on the possibility of being abandoned on the "emerald causeway" after judgment.
Many have fought, many have pillaged
Many have engaged in conflicts, and many have plundered.
Some have killed, some have hoarded way more then their fair share
Some have committed murder, and others have accumulated more than their fair share of wealth.
Many hit the jackpot, still wound up distraught
Despite achieving success, some end up deeply distressed.
Some have given their whole lives to an ideal that proved irrelevant in the end
Individuals dedicating their entire lives to ideals that ultimately prove irrelevant.
What will the scales weigh?
Contemplating the judgment of one's positive deeds.
When they measure up your good deeds
Reflecting on the evaluation of one's good actions.
Will you be castaway? On the emerald causeway
