where else can we go
here lies the truth
it's the only light we know
outside this booth
we're all doomed to die for sure
and there is no why or cure
except to look beyond existence from our youth
to pass the torch out to the porch
dispel the dark to outer courts
and live to serve it with persistence to our youth
what lies beyond reveals what is truth
looking back on times of independent action
introspective and at odds for loss of traction
where the rubber meets the road
where the Ishmaels explode
someone dying for their cause could ruin your day
and that is why there's certain laws we should obey
laws of virtue, kindness, love
looking to some God above
who says peace toward all good will
and backs it up
everyone who says so be it drinks the cup
and it teaches us as only good will can
that this love is a free gift to every man
to deny what doth corrupt
and for heaven's sake look up
there's a future for the ones we pass on to
all regardless of what doubters say or do
be it this world or the next
zealots here trash all pretext
in the light of unapproachable domain
and in this power alone we will sustain
