With acknowledgement to the genius of Ayn Rand
I.
Overture
And the meek shall inherit the earth.
II. Temples of
Syrinx
... "The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the heart of
every
Federation city. I have always been awed by them, to think that every single
facet
of every life is regulated and directed from within! Our books, our
music, our work and play
are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of the
priests..."
We've taken care of
everything
The words you hear the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to you
eyes.
It's one for all and all for one
We work together common sons
Never need
to wonder how or why.
We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great
computers fill the hallowed halls.
We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
All the
gifts of life are held within our walls.
Look around this world we made
Equality our
stock in trade
Come and join the Brotherhood of Man
Oh what a nice contented
world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand.
We
are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls.
We
are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within our
walls.
III. Discovery
... "Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room
that was hidden beneath
the cave, I found it. I brushed away the dust of the years, and picked
it up,
holding it reverently in my hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it
was
beautiful" ...
... "I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn the keys
to make
them sound differently. As I struck the wires with my other hand, I produced
my
first harmonious sounds, and soon my own music! How different it could be
from the music of
the Temples! I can't wait to tell the priests about it! ..."
What can this strange
device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
It's got wires that vibrate and give
music
What can this thing be that I found?
See how it sings like a sad
heart
And joyously screams out its pain
Sounds that build high like a mountain
Or
notes that fall gently like rain.
I can't wait to share this new wonder
The people
will all see its light
Let them all make their own music
The Priests praise my name on
this night.
IV. Presentation
... "In the sudden silence as I finished playing,
I looked up to a circle of
grim, expressionless faces. Father Brown rose to his feet, and his
somnolent
voice echoed throughout the silent Temple Hall." ...
... "Instead of the
grateful joy that I expected, they were words of quiet
rejection! Instead of praise, sullen
dismissal. I watched in shock and horror
as Father Brown ground my precious instrument to
splinters beneath his feet..."
I know it's most unusual
To come before you
so
But I've found an ancient miracle
I thought that you should know
Listen to
my music
And hear what it can do
There's something here as strong as life
I know that
it will reach you.
Yes, we know it's nothing new
It's just a waste of time
We
have no need for ancient ways
The world is doing fine
Another toy will help
destroy
The elder race of man
Forget about your silly whim
It doesn't fit the
plan.
I can't believe you're saying
These things just can't be true
Our world
could use this beauty
Just think what we might do.
Listen to my music
And hear
what it can do
There's something here as strong as life
I know that it will reach
you.
Don't annoy us further
We have our work to do.
Just think about the
average
What use have they for you?
Another toy will help destroy
The elder
race of man
Forget about your silly whim
It doesn't fit the plan.
V. Oracle:
The Dream
... "I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so vivid to me.
Clearly
yet I see the beckoning hand of the oracle as he stood at the summit of
the
staircase" ...
... "I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities and the
pure
spirit of man revealed in the lives and works of this world. I was overwhelmed
by
both wonder and understanding as I saw a completely different way to life, a
way that had been
crushed by the Federation long ago. I saw now how
meaningless life had become with the loss of
all these things ..."
I wandered home though the silent streets
And fell into a
fitfull sleep
Escape to realms beyond the night
Dream can't you show me the
light?
I stand atop a spiral stair
An oracle confronts me there
He leads me on
light years away
Through astral nights, galactic days
I see the works of gifted
hands
That grace this strange and wondrous land
I see the hand of man arise
With
hungry mind and open eyes
They left the planet long ago
The elder race still learn
and grow
Their power grows with purpose strong
To claim the home where they
belong
Oh, to tear the Temples down...
Oh, to change..
VI.
Soliloquy
... "I have not left this cave for days now, it has become my last refuge in
my
total despair. I have only the music of the waterfall to comfort me now. I
can no
longer live under the control of the Federation, but there is no other
place to go. My last
hope is that with my death I may pass into the world of
my dream, and know peace at
last."
The sleep is still in my eyes
The dream is still in my head
I heave a
sigh and sadly smile
And lie a while in bed
I wish that it might come to pass
Not
fade like all my dreams
Just think of what my life might be
In a world like I have
seen
I don't think I can carry on
Carry on this cold and empty
life
Oh...noo.
My spirits are low in the depths of despair
My lifeblood spills
over..
VII. The Grand Finale
Attention all Planets of the Solar
Federation
Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
Attention all Planets of the
Solar Federation
We have assumed control.
We have assumed control.
We have assumed
control | | | |
