lyrics

Solution
October 23, 1991

look my friends at the world around you
so much pain
too much pain to be born by one
strike out at the darkness in anger?
such was never an answer
doing you and others harm
and when there is a chance to help
however painful
the striking may bar your form -
if so, know this
it matters not who sorrows
who hates you for your doings
such is good -
that others will forever bind you by your acts

sacrifice yourself to the world?
if so, my friend, expect no charity, only hate
or ignorance from those you'd save
it does not matter
what is down with a kind heard
is forever remembered
or so it has been told to me by the sky
sacrifice has never been in vain

seek not love
even love sometimes lacks power
though success most often springs from love
if you love them and they hate you -
even hating they are loved

look to reason
then far within the night
beyond reason lies the undoing
the end of all this systemic corrosion
entropy, some call it
others tremble in fear of some great satan
who knows what is real?

that good can ever be made better
fear not my friend, the scorn of your fellows
know there's still love in the night

belief will change nothing
as belief in the unreal is doomed aborning
and the real needs no belief to remain
only the knowledge of rightness can help
save the world from destroying itself
as entropy can be beaten or accepted
either side no sin

know this
in a closed system entropy runs dry
change is shallow, defined
in opening the system, resurrection gains ground
by facing down the night, taking the stand
speaking for light, enough some said
to stand alone and be forgotten
