I was on a never ending river
the air was muggy and the sun was low
and as I cut her prow around the corner
I saw a place where I could rest my bones
my limbs were weary I had lost my bearings
I wandered off of every map I know
that's when I saw that mysterious lady
and what happened next I do not know

I awakened in a ring of fire
then I took some of her magic root
and I embarked upon and inward journey
she said "I'm gonna help you find the truth"
then I traveled for ages uncounted
between our spirits and across the stars
through the psyche and darkness uncharted
I saw the wisdom in the way things are

I been to the top of the mountain
but there was no great secret waiting there for me

(jungle justice) I've been through the darkness and back out the other side
(jungle justice) you can beat back the beast but he's still there biding his time
(jungle justice)
and even in this concrete jungle
the beast can go by many names
he rears his ugly head and roars
despite your vain attempts to keep him tame

and in that moment both my eyes were opened
the dream unraveled and it came undone
the nations of man were laid out before me
I was the devil and the tempted son
the illusion melted all around me
pulled back the curtain it was just a man
not a puppet of angels or demons
not a puppet in a higher plan

I been to the top of the mountain
but there was no great secret waiting there for me

(jungle justice) I've been through the darkness and back out the other side
(jungle justice) you can beat back the beast but he's still there biding his time
(jungle justice)
and even in this concrete jungle
the beast can go by many names
he rears his ugly head and roars
despite your vain attempts to keep him tame
