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
