I WALKED GREEN MILES OF JUNGLE



I WALKED THROUGH YELLOW MILES OF PAIN



I CROSSED STARVATION'S DESERT



WATCHED DEAD RIVER SWELL WITH RAIN



THE SONG OF INSECTS FILL THE AIR



NIGHTS IN CITIES OF DESPAIR



WHERE KILLER'S SONS SAID , SON BEWARE



AND ALL THE ROADS FROM HERE TO THERE



I SAILED THE SEA OF DESOLATION



DROPPED MY ANCHOR THERE



PLUMBED THE DEPTHS OF ISOLATION



WALKED ITS LENGTH AND WAS NOT SCARED



WENT FROM END TO END TO END



AND THEN FROM THERE I WENT AGAIN



THE ROAD THAT ONLY THIS ONE KNOWS



OFF TO NOWHERE THERE I GO



ILLUMINATION COMES SO HARD



MAKES ME SEE BUT LEAVES ITS SCARS



AT TIMES I WISH THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I KNOW NOW



THOUGHT AND THOUGHT UNTIL I LOST MY MIND



LOOKED AND LOOKED UNTIL I WENT NEAR BLIND



THE PATH IS FAIR BUT SO UNKIND



ILLUMINATION



AT NIGHT THE HIGHWAY'S DIESEL ROAR



SPEAKS TO ME AND TELLS ME MORE



THAN ANY BOOK I'VE EVER READ



OR ANYTHING YOU EVER SAID



WITH SILENT EYES INSIDE



I WATCH MYSELF AND WORLDS COLLIDE



THE SEASONS BURN AND CRACK MY SKIN



I STAY OUTSIDE AND LIVE WITHIN
