Rollins Band- "illumination" Lyrics - Wrestling

I walked green miles of jungle 

I walked through yellow miles of pain 

I crossed starvation's desert 

watched dead rivers 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 

wallked its length and was not scared 

went from end to end to end 

and from there I went again 

the road that only this one knows 

off to nowhere here I go 

illumination comes so hard 

makes me see but it 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've 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 

illumination comes so hard 

makes me see but it 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 

illumination 

illumination 

illumination 

illumination
