(Our books, our music)
(Our work and play are all after by the benevolent)
(Wisdom of the Priests)...

From words you read and to songs you
The pictures that give to your eyes.

III.
...(Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room was)
(hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I brushed the)
(dust of the years, and it up, holding it reverently in)
(my hands. I had no idea what it be, but it was)
(beautiful)...
...(I learned to lay my across the wires, and to turn)
(the keys to make them differently. As I struck the)
(wires with my other hand, I my first harmonious)
(sounds, and my own music!)
(How it could be)
(from the music of the temples! I cant to tell the)
(Priests it!)...

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

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

I can't wait to this new wonder
The people all see its light.
Let them all make their own
The Priests praise my on this night.

...(In the sudden silence as I playing, I looked up)
(o a circle of grim, faces. Father brown)
(rose to his feet, and his somnolent echoed)
(throughout the silent hall)...
...(Instead of the grateful joy I expected, they were)
(words of rejection! Instead of praise, sullen)
(dismissal. I watched in shock and horror as brown)
(ground my precious instrument to splinters his)
(feet)...

I know it's unusual to come before you so
But I've an ancient miracle I thought that you should know.

Listen to my music, and what it can do.
There's something here as as life
I that it will reach you.

Yes, we know, nothing new, it's just a waste of time.
We have no need for ancient ways, the world is fine.

Another toy will destroy the elder race of man!
Forget about silly whim, it doesn't fit the plan.

I can't believe you're saying, these just can't be true.
Our world could use this beauty, think what we might do.
Listen to my music, and hear it can do.
There's something here as strong as
I know that it reach you.

Don't us further, we have our work to do.
Just think about the average -- what use have for you?

Another toy will destroy the elder race of man.
Forget about silly whim, it doesn't fit the plan.

V. The Dream

...(I guess it was a dream, but even now it all so)
(vivid to me. Clearly yet I see the hand of the)
(Oracle as he at the summit of the staircase)...
...(I see still the beauty of the sculptured cities)
(and the spirit of man revealed in the lives and works)
(of world. I was overwhelmed by both wonder and)
(understanding as I saw a different way to life)
(A way that had been crushed by the federation ago.)
(I saw now how meaningless had become with the loss)
(of all things)...

I home though the silent streets
And fell into a sleep.
Escape to realms the night
Dream, can't you show me the

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

I see the of gifted hands
grace this strange and wondrous land.
I see the of man arise
With hungry mind and eyes.

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

VI.
...(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 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 sigh and smile
And lie a in bed.
I wish that it might come to
Not fade all my dreams.
Just of what my life might be
In a world like I seen.
I don't think I can on
Carry on this cold and life.
Oh, no...
My are low in the depths of despair...
My lifeblood over...
