We built a crystal fortress With walls of clarity. Looking out, and crying ‘evil’ Safe in sanctuary We built a crystal prison A cage of clarity. We’re fixed to one perspective Unless we hammer free To leave a crystal fortress to volunteer for doubt To dare ourselves examine Ourselves, within, without We leave a crystal prison And while sacrificing ease, We sacrifice false certainty And live free of fear’s disease.

~ An ode to Corporal Tun
We built a crystal fortress With walls of clarity. Looking out, and crying ‘evil’ Safe in sanctuary We built a crystal prison A cage of clarity. We’re fixed to one perspective Unless we hammer free To leave a crystal fortress to volunteer for doubt To dare ourselves examine Ourselves, within, without We leave a crystal prison And while sacrificing ease, We sacrifice false certainty And live free of fear’s disease.
