To Defy the Laws of Tradition

      
      'To defy the laws of tradition is a crusade only of the brave'
                 -Les Claypool

'To defy the laws of tradition',
Cried the jester from his cave,
'Is a crusade only of the brave.

To defy the laws of tradition
Will inspire, but cannot save;
Do not, friend, let that be your mission.

We ourselves are speaking from the grave;
Our lives a unique rendition
Of the eternal dance that chaos gave.

Live and love and crave;
The laws of infinite tradition
Are the rulers of finite slaves.
