Into Hyperspace

We have made up our minds
no turning back this time
We'll leave this dismal world of war and pain
and find ourselves some peaceful place
in a distant corner of the Milky way
Let's jump into hyperspace
Let's vanish without leaving a trace
Let's jump into hyperspace
Let's vanish without leaving a trace
We must cover our tracks
so that the interstellar
mind-control police won't find us anywhere
so we can live our lives
in peace and tranquility
without interference
Let's jump into hyperspace
Let's vanish without leaving a trace
Let's jump into hyperspace
Let's vanish without leaving a trace

Fire in the Mountains

Fire in the mountains
forebodes a firestorm on the plains
Monkeys dancing in the courtyard
tigers bound in chains
Rivers overflowing
cleansing torrents, thunder shakes the ground
What has lain dormant for so long
finally comes around
Lightning strikes in the same place
not once but twice and thrice
Big trees come crashing down
giants cut to size
Two hundred years of waiting
a wait well worth the price

en tienny mistä alkaa
minne suunnata
jäin paikoillein
sun luota löytyi sija
mut se ei ollut mun
mun muotoinen
siis kävin juoksujalkaa
lentomatollein
laitoin koloon liekin
istuin tuulta päin
kuulin askeleesi pimeässä
kuljit aivan vierelläin
vaikken nähnyt sua
pidin kädestä kii
kun pudottiin
en tiedä kuinka kauan
on leijaillut tääl
tai mis oon
mä haluun laskee juuret
maahan hyvään ja
kasvaa
en enää pelkää teitä
saatan kulkee tääl
kaupungin sekasorrost
kylien kosmokseen

It was the late 17th century
and the world was groping in the dark
when Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
and Isaac Newton made their mark
Independently of each other
they made a stunning find
You could take derivatives and integrals
of curves of every kind
In school you used to hate it
but maybe now you will see
that much of what we take for granted is there
because of calculi
So next time you're popping that soft drink
or opening that can of beans
know that they used
differentiation
so the cans could be made
with the least material means
Today calculus is used
everywhere in modern science
it's a mathematical tool that has
nearly universal appliance
So it's not just a nifty trick
of use to a handful of geeks
but the greatest mathematical innovation
since the times of the ancient Greeks
