Lyrics
Two roads in the desert converge
and I'm standing at the junction, wondering which way to go.
Two fates I will choose from,
and though everything's at stake, the choice is mine to make alone.
The choice is mine alone.
Two boys, maybe brothers, approach,
and there's something about the whole thing that just don't feel quite right.
Two seconds to make my decision,
but the consequences will weigh upon me the rest of my life,
the rest of my life.
To draw the red line in the sand.
To know that they died by my hand.
And the price I have to pay
for what I did that day,
only now I understand.
Two forms taking shape as the smoke clears.
I'm feeling kind of heavy, like something is pulling me down.
Two minutes, two months, two years,
it doesn't make a difference. It's happening all right now.
It's happening right now.
To draw the red line in the sand.
To know that they died by my hand.
It was over like lightning.
Well, people tell me I did the right thing,
but still my soul is writhing in the sand.
