Cygnus X-1 Book II Hemispheres - Rush[00:00:03]
When our weary world was young[00:02:59]
The struggle of the ancients first began[00:03:02]
The gods of love and reason[00:03:06]
Sought alone to rule the fate of man[00:03:09]
They battled through the ages[00:03:20]
But still neither force would yield[00:03:23]
The people were divided[00:03:27]
Every soul a battlefield[00:03:30]
Every soul a battlefield[00:03:33]
I bring truth and understanding[00:04:36]
I bring wit and wisdom fair[00:04:39]
Precious gifts beyond compare[00:04:42]
We can build a world of wonder[00:04:52]
I can make you all aware[00:04:55]
I will find you food and shelter[00:04:59]
Show you fire to keep you warm[00:05:02]
Through the endless winter storm[00:05:05]
You can live in grace and comfort[00:05:16]
In the world that you transform[00:05:19]
The people were delighted[00:05:38]
Coming forth to claim their prize[00:05:41]
They ran to build their cities[00:05:46]
And converse among the wise[00:05:49]
But one day the streets fell silent[00:05:53]
Yet they knew not what was wrong[00:05:56]
The urge to build these fine things[00:06:00]
Seemed not to be so strong[00:06:03]
The wise men were consulted[00:06:07]
And the Bridge of Death was crossed[00:06:10]
In quest of Dionysus[00:06:14]
To find out what they had lost[00:06:18]
I bring love to give you solace[00:07:06]
In the darkness of the night[00:07:09]
In the Heart's eternal light[00:07:11]
You need only trust your feelings[00:07:22]
Only love can steer you right[00:07:25]
I bring laughter I bring music[00:07:29]
I bring joy and I bring tears[00:07:32]
I will soothe your primal fears[00:07:35]
Throw off those chains of reason[00:07:46]
And your prison disappears[00:07:49]
The cities were abandoned[00:08:08]
And the forests echoed song[00:08:11]
They danced and lived as brothers[00:08:16]
They knew love could not be wrong[00:08:19]
Food and wine they had aplenty[00:08:23]
And they slept beneath the stars[00:08:26]
The people were contented[00:08:30]
And the gods watched from afar[00:08:33]
But the winter fell upon them[00:08:37]
And it caught them unprepared[00:08:40]
Bringing wolves and cold starvation[00:08:44]
And the hearts of men despaired[00:08:48]
The universe divided[00:09:53]
As the heart and mind collided[00:09:55]
With the people left unguided[00:09:57]
For so many troubled years[00:10:00]
In a cloud of doubts and fears[00:10:02]
Their world was torn asunder into hollow[00:10:04]
Hemispheres[00:10:08]
Some fought themselves some fought each other[00:10:20]
Most just followed one another[00:10:23]
Lost and aimless like their brothers[00:10:25]
For their hearts were so unclear[00:10:27]
And the truth could not appear[00:10:29]
Their spirits were divided into blinded[00:10:31]
Hemispheres[00:10:35]
Some who did not fight[00:10:56]
Brought tales of old to light[00:10:59]
My Rocinante sailed by night[00:11:04]
On her final flight[00:11:08]
To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome force[00:11:12]
We set our course[00:11:16]
Spiralled through that timeless space[00:11:21]
To this immortal place[00:11:25]
I have memory and awareness[00:12:45]
But I have no shape or form[00:12:49]
As a disembodied spirit[00:12:54]
I am dead and yet unborn[00:12:58]
I have passed into Olympus[00:13:04]
As was told in tales of old[00:13:08]
To the city of Immortals[00:13:12]
Marble white and purest gold[00:13:16]
I see the gods in battle rage on high[00:14:06]
Thunderbolts across the sky[00:14:14]
I cannot move I cannot hide[00:14:19]
I feel a silent scream begin inside[00:14:25]
Then all at once the chaos ceased[00:14:36]
A stillness fell a sudden peace[00:14:39]
The warriors felt my silent cry[00:14:42]
And stayed their struggle mystified[00:14:46]
Apollo was atonished[00:14:53]
Dionysus thought me mad[00:14:55]
But they heard my story further[00:15:00]
And they wondered and were sad[00:15:03]
Looking down from Olympus[00:15:08]
On a world of doubt and fear[00:15:10]
It's surface splintered[00:15:16]
Into sorry Hemispheres[00:15:17]
They sat a while in silence[00:15:38]
Then they turned at last to me[00:15:41]
We will call you Cygnus[00:15:45]
The god of Balance you shall be[00:15:47]
We can walk our road together[00:17:02]
If our goals are all the same[00:17:08]
We can run alone and free[00:17:14]
If we pursue a different aim[00:17:19]
Let the truth of love be lighted[00:17:25]
Let the love of truth shine clear[00:17:30]
Sensibility[00:17:35]
Armed with sense and liberty[00:17:38]
With the heart and mind united in a single[00:17:41]
Perfect[00:17:48]
Sphere[00:17:50]
