Man lays down the grid, trying to helm the wild Building perfect boxes for a force that's never smiled We impose a symmetry, axisymmetry, design Trying to draw a border where the root meets the vine But how can you cage what has no concept of a cage? We write a rigid law on an ever-shifting page Duality, modality, the illusion of command We build a stone fortress on a foundation of sand Unforgiving, unyielding, the universe expands The laws of thermodynamics slipping through our hands ENTROPY!!!!!!!! Chaos is the absolute, the root, the end Everything we reconstitute, nature's gonna rend A plague of imposed order, indirect or direct But the arrow of time is a force you can't deflect Glass and steel crumble, the systems will fail The wild doesn't break the lock, it just dissolves the jail Absolute, absolute, nothing stays confined Execute the institute, the madness of the mind Forbidden fruit, substitute, look at what we've made A desperate little kingdom that is destined to fade Looting the horizon just to hold back the decay But the universe is running down, running down... RUNNING DOWN!!!!!! If only in tandem, we could finally learn the dance To see the grand design inside the chaos and the chance The only thing you control is what you give away Serenity, in entirety. Let the order decay. [End]
