| | Album: | Hemispheres | | Titre: | Cygnus X 1 Book Ii Hemispheres | | | | Date d'ajout: | 18/10/2007 | | Vues: | 58 fois | | | | Paroles: | I. Prelude
When our weary world was young
The struggle of the ancients first
began.
The gods of Love and Reason
Sought alone to rule the fate of Man.
They
battled through the ages,
But still neither force would yield.
The people were
divided,
Every soul a battlefield.
II. Apollo Bringer of Wisdom
"I bring truth
and understanding,
I bring wit and wisdom fair,
Precious gifts beyond compare.
We can
build a world of wonder,
I can make you all aware.
I will find you food and
shelter,
Show you fire to keep you warm
Through the endless winter storm.
You can
live in grace and comfort
In the world that you transform."
The people were
delighted
Coming forth to claim their prize
They ran to build their cities
And
converse among the wise.
But one day the streets fell silent,
Yet they knew not what was
wrong.
The urge to build these fine things
Seemed not to be so strong.
The wise men
were consulted,
And the Bridge of Death was crossed
In quest of Dionysus,
To find out
what they had lost.
III. Dionysus Bringer of Love
"I bring love to give you
solace
In the darkness of the night,
In the Heart's eternal light.
You need only
trust your feelings;
Only love can steer you right.
I bring laughter, I bring
music,
I bring joy and I bring tears.
I will soothe your primal fears.
Throw off
those chains of reason
And your prison disappears."
The cities were
abandoned,
And the forests echoed song.
They danced and lived as brothers;
They knew
love could not be wrong.
Food and wine they had aplenty
And they slept beneath the
stars.
The people were contented
And the Gods watched from afar.
But the winter fell
upon them
And it caught them unprepared,
Bringing wolves and cold starvation,
And the
hearts of men despaired.
IV. Armageddon The Battle of Heart and Mind
The Universe
divided
As the Heart and Mind collided,
With the people left unguided
For so many
troubled years.
In a cloud of doubts and fears,
Their world was torn asunder into hollow
Hemispheres.
Some fought themselves, some fought each other.
Most just followed one
another,
Lost and aimless like their brothers,
For their hearts were so unclear,
And
the truth could not appear.
Their spirits were divided into blinded
Hemispheres.
Some who did not fight
Brought tales of old to light.
My
Rocinante' sailed by night
On her final flight.
To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome
force
We set our course.
Spiralled through that timeless space
To this immortal
place.
V. Cygnus Bringer of Balance
I have memory and awareness,
But I have no
shape or form.
As a disembodied spirit,
I am dead and yet unborn.
I have passed into
Olympus
As was told in tales of old,
To the city of Immortals,
Marble white and
purest gold.
I see the gods in battle rage on high
Thunderbolts across the
sky.
I cannot move, I cannot hide,
I feel a silent scream begin inside.
Then
all at once the chaos ceased.
A stillness fell, a sudden peace.
The warriors felt my
silent cry
And stayed their struggle, mystified.
Apollo was atonished;
Dionysus
thought me mad.
But they heard my story further,
And they wondered, and were
sad.
Looking down from Olympus
On a world of doubt and fear,
Its surface
splintered
Into sorry Hemispheres.
They sat a while in silence,
Then they
turned at last to me.
"We will call you Cygnus,
The god of Balance you shall
be."
VI. The Sphere A Kind of Dream
We can walk our road together
If our goals
are all the same.
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim.
Let the
truth of love be lighted,
Let the love of truth shine clear.
Sensibility, armed with sense
and liberty,
With the Heart and Mind united in a single perfect Sphere | | | |
