No Man's Land

No man alive this planet can illuminate your path

No guide that came before can show the way beyond the pass

No footprints on the trail for you to follow in the tracks

For you to make it there you have to leave without the map

And no amount of pleading can release you from the trap

There's no degree of toil that can serve to bridge the gap

You can trek across the plains without much weight upon your back

But if you're tortured in your mind, you will crumble from the facts

So flee the shelter for the storm before the caves collapse

I've stood among them like a ghost they fail to recognize

Amidst the cattle and the wolves that roam the countryside
