C#m                          F#       E      C#m
Give me your heart and I'll show you how to feel
C#m                           F#          E
Send me your soul and you'll know what it is to
   C#m
be free
   F#           E     C#m     F#           E
We all need a deeper purpose. One that's true
     C#m
and bold
    F#     E              C#m
The only thing that could hurt us
        G#7          C#m
is the curse of the fold

I once knew a man who had fire in his eyes
Bloody right hand, he had taken his enemies' lives
The past was his torture, the future held his hope
Until he chose his fortune as the curse of the fold

Chorus:
    A             B         G#7   C#m
Although you may feel like giving up, it's
 A      B    G#7
not the only road
     A        B      G#7  C#m           A
The path less often traveled holds the highest,
     G#7        C#m
the highest of hopes

Some used to say that I'd never scale this mountain
Now that I'm close, they shut their eyes and draw
their curtains
Those who don't believe will always encourage defeat
They'll scream and shout and scold for the curse
of the fold

Chorus:
Although I felt like giving up
It's not the road I chose
The path less often traveled
Held the highest, the highest of hopes
Held the highest, the highest of hopes
