[Verse 1]
Starlanes tore apart above a crossroads made of dust,
Four glowing paths unfolding like a map I couldn’t trust.
The silence held its breath the way a predator might wait,
And a low vibration warned me something old could alter fate.
[Pre-Chorus]
A pulse began to rise,
Blurring edges in the skies.
Dust bent backward, thin and wise—
Like time had stopped to supervise.
[Chorus]
At the cosmic crossroads, shadows kneel,
Where something waits with a truth surreal.
A voice from nowhere made an offer ideal—
Wrapped in calm like a perfect deal.
[Verse 2]
Light folded inward, taking shape without a frame,
A figure shifting softly as if sculpted out of flame.
Eyes not made for seeing stared directly into me,
Reflecting every memory I tried hard not to be.
[Pre-Chorus]
Its whisper curled around my spine,
Smooth as wind through coralline.
Promising what could be mine—
For a cost I couldn’t define.
[Chorus]
At the cosmic crossroads, shadows kneel,
And the void leans close with polished zeal.
It told me fate was a turning wheel—
And it could forge me something real.
[Bridge] – The Devil’s Offer
It offered me a future carved in starlight sharp and clear,
A path where every step erased the echoes of my fear.
Said it’d shift the universe to set my burdens right,
Reshape the threads behind me and rewrite my lost nights.
[Bridge – Wanderer’s Response]
But deals feel different when the quiet pulls you near,
When every gain is measured by the things that disappear.
I felt the tremor in the choice it tried to seal,
A truth beneath the offer I was never meant to feel.
[Final Chorus]
At the cosmic crossroads, shadows kneel,
And temptation hums like a spinning reel.
I turned away from the star-lit appeal—
Leaving dust to swallow the Devil’s spiel.
[Outro]
As I walked, the light collapsed behind me with a sigh,
A warning in the dark that bargains never truly die.
But still I kept my stride upon that fractured, glowing seal—
Knowing someday I might return… if the void repeats the deal.
