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

We've care of everything
From words you read and to songs you
The pictures that give pleasure to eyes.

We work together, sons.

Equality, our in trade.

...(Behind my beloved waterfall, in the room that was)
(hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I away the)
(dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it in)
(my hands. I had no idea it might 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 produced my harmonious)
(sounds, and my own music!)
(How it could be)
(from the of the temples! I cant wait to tell the)
(Priests it!)...

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

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

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

...(In the silence 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)...
...(Instead of the joy that I expected, they were)
(words of rejection! Instead of praise, sullen)
(dismissal. I in shock and horror as father brown)
(ground my precious to splinters beneath his)
(feet)...

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

Listen to my music, and what it can do.

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

Another toy will help destroy the race of man.
Forget about your silly whim, it fit the plan.

V. The Dream

...(I guess it was a dream, but now it all seems so)
(vivid to me. yet I see the beckoning hand of the)
(Oracle as he at the summit of the staircase)...
...(I see still the beauty of the sculptured cities)
(and the pure of man revealed 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 had been crushed by the federation long ago.)
(I saw now how meaningless life had with the loss)
(of all things)...

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

An confronts me there.
He leads me on years away
Through nights, galactic days

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

The elder race learn and grow.
Their power grows with strong
To claim the home where belong.
Home, to tear the down...
Home, to change...
