The Destruction of the Kola Superdeep Borehole Tower |
| Stick bright reflective tape to the collar of your shirt |
| Mind your business and you won’t get hurt |
| Be true to the things you said you’d be true to |
| Always keep your objective in view |
| Keep two working contacts among your effects |
| See the tall poppies with their tender fragile necks |
| Solomon in all his glory not arrayed like these |
| Bending in the wind like pilgrims on their knees |
| Those who came to learn these lessons |
| Left no trace of their presnce |
| Always have a flashlight, just in case |
| Show th world your true face |
| Burn such fuel as you need to burn |
| Learn to wait your turn |
| Count the heads in the bunks before you turn in for the night |
| Lace your boots up tight |
| Secure the rope to the pole |
| Keep a sense of wonder when you finally reach your goal |
| Those who came to learn these lessons |
| Left no trace of their presence |
| Leave nothing behind |
| Keep a positive thought in your mind |
| If you can’t find anything nice to say |
| Drift away |
| Retain a sense of grace when it’s time to cut the cord |
| Crack through the crust, fall to your knees, and praise the Lord |
| Listen for the voices calling out from down below |
| Steady as you go |
| What will they say back home about you |
| Who always kept your objective in view |
| Whose effects included contacts that finally got found |
| Inside the Arctic Circle, scattered on the ground |
| Those who came to learn these lessons |
| Left no trace of their presence |
