Band Rollins Illumination Lyrics

Illumination Lyrics

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 filled the air / Nights in cites 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 here 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

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
