Cries in the Darkness
by Spiffage

"I do what I do for the good of the soul;
With this alien force, it cannot be whole.
Perchance he won't see it, or like it, or care,
But if he knew what I've been through,
He would know that it's there."

"I do what I do for the good of the mind.
Until we're victorious, we're two steps behind.
We can't see what we fight, by search or by scan,
But we know that he's frightened,
'Cause we're part of his plan."

"I do what I do for the good of the heart,
For it fills mine to know that we do play a part.
I don't know whether fallen from reason or grace,
But I sense this strange life form
Once had a child's face."

"I do what I do for the good of the world.
We refuse to stay warm in our beds, snug and curled.
He may have all the strength, all the power, and pride,
But we have something special --
We have fate on our side."
