What can strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives a sound.
It's got that vibrate and give music.
What can this be that I found?

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

The people all see its light.
Let them all their own music
The Priests praise my on this night.

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

Listen to my music, and what it can do.

We no need for ancient ways, the world is doing fine.

...(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 at the summit of the staircase)...
...(I see still the incredible beauty of the cities)
(and the pure of man revealed in the lives and works)
(of this world. I was by both wonder and)
(understanding as I saw a completely way to life)
(A way that had been crushed by the federation ago.)
(I saw now how meaningless life had with the loss)

I wandered home though the silent
And fell into a sleep.
Escape to beyond the night
Dream, can't you me the light?

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

I see the works of gifted
That grace this strange and land.
I see the of man arise
With mind and open eyes.

They the planet long ago
The race still learn and grow.
Their power grows with purpose
To claim the where they belong.
Home, to the Temples down...
Home, to change...

(the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no live)
(under the of the federation, but there is no other)
(place to go. My hope is that with my death I may pass)
(into the of my dream, and know peace at last)...

The sleep is still in my
The is still in my head.
I heave a 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 I have seen.
I think I can carry on
Carry on cold and empty life.
Oh, no...
My spirits are low in the of despair...
My lifeblood over...
