Equality, our in trade.

When I it, it gives forth a sound.

What can this thing be that I

See how it like a sad heart
And joyously out its pain.
Sounds that build like a mountain
Or notes that fall like rain.

I can't wait to share new wonder
The people all see its light.
Let them all their own music

...(In the sudden as I finished playing, I looked up)
(o a circle of grim, faces. Father brown)
(rose to his feet, and his somnolent echoed)
(throughout the silent hall)...

But I've found an miracle I thought that you should know.

...(I guess it was a dream, but now it all seems so)
(vivid to me. Clearly yet I see the beckoning of the)
(Oracle as he stood at the of the staircase)...
...(I see still the incredible of the sculptured cities)
(and the pure spirit of man in the lives and works)
(of this world. I was overwhelmed by both and)
(understanding as I saw a different way to life)
(A way that had crushed by the federation long ago.)
(I saw now how life had become with the loss)
(of all things)...

I wandered though the silent streets
And into a fitful sleep.
Escape to realms beyond the
Dream, can't you show me the

I stand atop a stair
An oracle me there.
He me on light years away
Through astral nights, days

I see the works of gifted
That this strange and wondrous land.
I see the hand of man
hungry mind and open eyes.

They left the long ago
The elder race learn and grow.
Their power with purpose strong
To claim the where they belong.
Home, to tear the down...
Home, to change...

...(I have not left cave for days now, it has become)
(my last refuge in my despair. I have only the music of)
(the to comfort me now. I can no longer live)
(under the control of the federation, but is no other)
(place to go. My last hope is that my death I may pass)
(into the of my dream, and know peace at last)...

The is still in my eyes
The is still in my head.
I a sigh and sadly smile
And lie a in bed.
I that it might come to pass
Not fade all my dreams.
Just of what my life might be
In a world like I seen.
I think I can carry on
Carry on cold and empty life.
Oh, no...
My are low in the depths of despair...
My lifeblood over...
