Trials in this life whether calm or disaster

Sadness and the laughter beginning through the after

Turn the page, then we start another chapter

She said, as the car drove away

Tail lights vanished in the glow of the day

Coping with the change all alone in their estate

Sent their daughter off to college now they′re so old and gray

Don't know what to do with this time they′ve been given

Started a foundation technology for children

They want to change the world, make it better, make it different

On the run like he's super slick

A fugitive who knew the tricks removing every clue they skip

Moving quick, hoping they don't shoot him with

A lie tranquilized that they get him to maneuver in

Started with his knowledge and a proof to make it lucrative

Prison′s not a future for an innocent computer whiz

Bounced underground, finally made it out the sewers then

Farewell if you ever ask why

Farewell, tell if you never say die

Farewell, please let me see you put your fist up

Always fare well when determined not to give up

Farewell now I gotta make them proud

Farewell, out when I′m waving to the crowd

Farewell let me hear you say it now

Conversation stops when their moniker is mentioned

An undetected presence on the internet they leverage

So much potential they change it to kinetic

Connected, relentless, no interest in a penance

They're just, bent on a method for their vengeance

Prevalent with messages, know how to make an entrance

Identities unknown, citations need a reference

Bet you′ll get it with this very next sentence

Not forgiven not forgotten but they're certainly expected

Factor mathematics then it′s all a game of averages

Coding, overflowing, still invoking what their passion is

Get a hacker kid and match him with an activist

Pad it with an additive for automatic catalyst

The fact that it exists isn't actually the saddest bit

Scale across the planet understanding what the fraction is

Instantly mobilized and suited up for battle quick

Farewell if you ever ask why

Farewell, tell if you never say die

Farewell, please let me see you put your fist up

Always fair well when determined not to give up

Farewell now I gotta make them proud

Farewell, out when I′m waving to the crowd

Farewell let me hear you say it now

Control's coming loose, cause and effect

Know when to choose, pause let it set

Show me the proof, call for the best

Moment of truth, go again

Control's coming loose, cause and effect

Know when to choose, pause let it set

Show me the proof, call for the best

Moment of truth, and it′s all that you get

Trials in this life whether calm or disaster

Sadness and the laughter beginning through the after

Turn the page, then we finish out the chapter

He′s the leader of these vagrants

No debate, bringing faith to the faithless

Federal agents, mad 'cause they′re flagrant

They hacked all the taps that were placed in the basement

Delivering a way to save the internet they're faced with

And an atmospheric network they′re launching with a spaceship

Funded with the money that they stole from a foundation

Not what he meant from his steady trend of envious

Foundation's bankrupt, the couple died penniless

The darkest of surprise, the startle in their eyes

The project that they started was the heart of their demise

Now they lay in a coffin made of rotted wood

So altruistic, they meant to do a lot of good

The world did change, but not how they thought it would

Farewell if you ever ask why

Farewell, tell if you never say die

Farewell, please let me see you put your fist up

Always fair well when determined not to give up

Farewell now I gotta make them proud

Farewell, out when I′m waving to the crowd

Farewell let me hear you say it now
