Elephant's Graveyard

You set on a quest for knowledge Drawn by the dry Savannah winds You dreamed since your days in college With granite eyes, defiant chin You crossed over swollen waters So close to your life's desire But you fell off the map of the world Off the wall and off the wire Did you find the perfect place to lay your bones? Did you find the ones you knew would call you home? I climbed to the skull of the mountain To the stones where you knelt to pray And there a trail of your burned possessions Led to a room full of disarray The host who lay down before you Did they sing you to your knees? Did they comfort and kiss and hold you With a heartfelt eulogy? Did you find the perfect place to lay your bones? Did you find the ones you knew would call you home? Did you find the perfect place to lay your bones? Did you find the ones you knew would call you home? Did you feel the heavens open like the end was nigh? For you own kind, did you seek and did you find?
