Damascus Road
I have stood up on the mountain, my face towards the wind
And the Lord he surely knows I have sinned
I have crawled across the desert beneath the burning sun
And the devil surely knows I'm on the run
Now I'm walking through the valley where the peaceful waters flow
And I'm searching for salvation down on Damascus Road
I have sat down by the ocean on ancient shifting sands
And watched as time slipped by through my hands
I have run down ragged ribbons of endless winding roads
Without a soul to help me with my load
Now I'm walking through the valley where the peaceful waters flow
And I'm searching for salvation down on Damascus Road
Damascus Road is straight and true
The rules of the road say a toll is due
From the edge of nowhere to the end of time
Damascus Road is a worried mind and the traveller's blind
When the light won't shine
I have dined in golden temples at the tables of desire
And watched the stakes go rising ever higher
I have seen the broken relics, so sad they make you weep
Their empty eyes look through me in my sleep
Now I'm walking through the valley where the peaceful waters flow
And I'm searching for salvation down on Damascus Road
