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