I.

"And the shall inherit the earth."

II. of Syrinx

...(The massive grey walls of the temples rise the)
(heart of every federation city. I always been awed)
(by them, to think that every facet of every life is)
(regulated and from within!)
(Our books, our music)
(Our work and are all looked after by the benevolent)
(Wisdom of the Priests)...

We've taken of everything
From words you and to songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to eyes.
one for all and all for one
We work together, sons.
need to wonder how or why.

We are the Priests of the of Syrinx
Our great computers our hallowed halls.
We are the Priests of the Temples of
All the gifts of are held within our walls.

around this world we made
Equality, our in trade.
and join the Brotherhood of Man.
Oh, a nice contented world.
Let the be unfurled
Hold the Red proudly high in hand.

We are the Priests of the Temples of
Our great fill our hallowed halls.
We are the Priests of the of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are within our walls.

III.
...(Behind my waterfall, in the little room that was)
(hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I brushed the)
(dust of the years, and picked it up, it reverently in)
(my hands. I had no what it might be, but it was)
(beautiful)...
...(I learned to lay my fingers the wires, and to turn)
(the keys to make them differently. As I struck the)
(wires my other hand, I produced 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 it, it gives forth a sound.
It's got wires that and give music.
What can this thing be I found?

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

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

IV.
...(In the sudden silence as I finished playing, I up)
(o a circle of grim, faces. Father brown)
(rose to his feet, and his somnolent echoed)
(throughout the temple 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 to splinters beneath his)
(feet)...

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

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

Yes, we know, it's new, it's just a waste of time.
We no need for ancient ways, the world is doing fine.

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

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

annoy us further, we have our work to do.
Just think about the average -- what use have for you?

Another toy will help the elder race of man.
Forget about your silly whim, it 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 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 completely way to life)
(A way that had been by the federation long ago.)
(I saw now how meaningless had become with the loss)
(of all things)...

I home though the silent streets
And fell a fitful sleep.
Escape to realms the night
Dream, you show me the light?

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

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

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

VI.
...(I have not left this cave for now, it has become)
(my last refuge in my total despair. I have the music of)
(the waterfall to me now. I can no longer 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 is still in my eyes
The dream is in my head.
I heave a and sadly smile
And lie a in bed.
I wish that it might come to
Not fade all my dreams.
think of what my life might be
In a world like I seen.
I don't think I can on
Carry on this and empty life.
Oh, no...
My spirits are low in the of despair...
My lifeblood over...

VII. Finale
Attention, all Planets of the Federation...
Attention, all of the Solar Federation...
Attention, all Planets of the Federation.
We have control.
We have control.
We assumed control.
