Yeah, our story goes
He went down to the crossroads
He sat down and kept his eyes closed
Well, everyone has a price, child
And what it cost him
Was his soul
You think you're getting away
No escape from the deal you made
You walked right into his plan
Run as fast as you think you can
Back from wherever you came
Call the devil by any name
Oh no, now who do you blame?
Should have listened to what I say
What I say, what I say, yeah
I don't know if I'll be coming home again, home again
No, I don't know if I'll be coming home
It's a long road to hell without no soul
Just when you think you're getting away
No escape from the deal you made
You walked right into his plan
Run as fast as you think you can
Back from wherever you came
Call the devil by any name
Oh no, now who do you blame?
Should have listened to what I say
What I say, what I say, yeah
Let me tell you, it's a hard road to hell without no soul
About This Song
"Long Road to Hell" explores themes of moral corruption and Faustian bargains through a narrative about selling one's soul at the crossroads. The track blends Avicii's signature progressive house sound with darker, more introspective lyrics that examine the consequences of compromising one's values for success. Its haunting melody and gospel-influenced vocals create a compelling contrast between the uplifting electronic production and the cautionary tale within. The song stands as one of Avicii's more thematically complex works from his breakthrough album *True*.
