In vain the iron-wrought tower
Pierces heaven's dome
In vain the muscle tears it's fiber
Ten more fibers blossom in its place
They tried to plant a flag
Behind the void
In vain the moat surrounds the castle
Mud skulks across its bed
In vain contraction
In vain expansion
In vain our kind seeks total order
There is a fissure at the heart of being
They tried to plant a flag
Behind the void
