Well I climbed the seven summits
And I swam the seven seas
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
I fought in the jungles
And I fought in the streets
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Once I had a reason
Don't know what it could be
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Well I sang to myself
That I want to be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
I walked the empty desert
And I was burned in the heat
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
I crossed the frozen wasteland
And in the bitter cold did freeze
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
And I will knock on every door
For I do not have a key
And the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Well I sang to myself
That I want to be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
They shot a man in Soho
Couldn't guess his age
I found his empty journal
I filled up every page
I called up my state senator
They said he wasn't there
The secretary took my name
And man she sounded scared
So I counted my misfortunes
I added up the blame
I picked through all the garbage
I checked off all the names
I read in the newspaper
They'd questioned all my friends
They hoped that they could find me
Before I struck again
Well I sang to myself
That I want to be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
So when thirsty I will drink
When hungry I will steal
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
So tonight I walk in anger
With worn shoes on my feet
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
And I will sing to myself
That I'm gonna be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
There's a sign along the highway
But it's too dark now to read
The lyrics THE ROAD I MUST TRAVEL of THE NIGHTWATCHMAN is also present in the album One man revolution (2007)
The Nightwatchman è il progetto solista di Tom Morello, chitarrista e compositore statunitense noto per le sue collaborazioni con band come Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave e Street Sweeper Social Club. Il nome d'arte si ispira al ruolo storico dei "Night Watchmen", guardie notturne che proteggevano le città dai ladri e dalle minacce. Morello utilizza questo progetto per esprimere la sua passione per la musica folk americana e per affrontare temi sociali e politici con un approccio diretto e incisivo. Le sue canzoni sono caratterizzate da testi poetici, melodie accattivanti e una forte componente di protesta. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "The Nightwatchman", "First Day of My Life" e "Burn It Down". Morello ha pubblicato diversi album con The Nightwatchman, tra cui "The Nightwatchman" (2007) e "Pandemonium: A Collection of Songs from the Streets" (2016).
