At the Road's End

At the road's end
 There's only backwards
 There's only burial, a smoldering pyre
 At the road's end
 Are the eyes of crows and
 They glisten from the bulletproof briar
 At the road's end
 There's only blackness
 A puking crevasse, a canyon wall
 At the road's end
 Is just the open
 Indifferent barbarian sprawl
 It's no fable
 It's no closure
 It's no circle
 But it's not over
 There's no shortcut
 There's no rushing
 There's no trusting
 But here goes nothing
 Straight on into wilderness
 Forward into darkness
 We're goin' straight on into wilderness
 Forward into darkness
 Everything is real in this
 Ain't nothing here can stop us
 Got no map, got no compass
 We're going right into the darkness
 Straight on into wilderness
 Forward into darkness
 We're goin' straight on into wilderness
 Forward into darkness
 Everything is real in this
 Ain't nothing here can stop us
 Got no map, got no compass
 We're going right into the darkness
 Straight on into wilderness
 Forward into darkness
 We're goin' straight on into wilderness
 Forward into darkness
 Everything is real in this
 Ain't nothing here can stop us
 Got no map, got no compass
 We're going right into the darkness
 Straight on into wilderness
 Forward into darkness
 We're goin' straight on into wilderness
 Forward into darkness
 Everything is real in this
 Ain't nothing here can stop us
 Got no map, got no compass
 We're going right into the darkness
 "And today, on Friday, February 10th, 2017, I had known my name,
 I had known how tall I stood,
 I had known my hands, I had known my eyes, and the color of the sun."
 "You are the golden boy with a golden heart,
 and when he died the world revolved around him."
 And though I've run out of things to fear
 Still I'm alive, I'm alive out here
 Yes I've run out of things to fear
 But I'm alive, still alive out here
 It's against the odds
 And it's against the gods
 But there's nothing left to fear
 In this impossible frontier
 And have I run out of things to say?
 Well were you ever listening anyway?
 And there's a million words at play
 And that's not even halfway
 I ignore the calls
 And I ignore the walls
 Until there's nothing left to fear
 In this impossible frontier
 I am become the sacred seer
 For I'm alive, I'm alive out here
 And the air gets cold and clear
 After the kiss of the atmosphere
 It's no time to blink
 And it's no time to think
 And I've forgot the taste of fear
 In this impossible
 Straight on into wilderness
 Forward into darkness
 We're goin' straight on into wilderness
 Forward into darkness
 And everything is real in this
 Ain't nothing here can stop us
 Got no map, got no compass
 Going forward into darkness
 Straight into wilderness
 Forward into darkness
 Straight on into wilderness
 Forward into darkness
 And everything is real in this
 Ain't nothing here can stop us
 Got no map, got no compass
 We're going forward into darkness
