I.

"And the meek shall the earth."

II. Temples of

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

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

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

Look around this we made
Equality, our in trade.
Come and join the of Man.
Oh, what a nice world.
Let the banners be
the Red Star proudly high in hand.

We are the Priests of the of Syrinx
Our computers fill our hallowed halls.
We are the Priests of the of Syrinx
All the of life are held within our walls.

...(Behind my beloved waterfall, in the room that was)
(hidden the cave, I found it. I brushed away the)
(dust of the years, and picked it up, it reverently in)
(my hands. I had no idea what it be, but it was)
(beautiful)...
...(I learned to lay my fingers the wires, and to turn)
(the keys to make sound differently. As I struck the)
(wires my other hand, I produced my first harmonious)
(sounds, and my own music!)
(How different it be)
(from the music of the temples! I cant to tell the)
(Priests it!)...

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

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

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

IV.
...(In the silence as I finished playing, I looked up)
(o a of grim, expressionless faces. Father brown)
(rose to his feet, and his voice echoed)
(throughout the temple hall)...
...(Instead of the grateful joy that I expected, were)
(words of quiet rejection! of praise, sullen)
(dismissal. I in shock and horror as father brown)
(ground my precious instrument to splinters his)
(feet)...

I know it's unusual to come before you so
But I've found an ancient 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 nothing new, just a waste of time.
We no need for ancient ways, the world is doing fine.

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

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

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

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

V. Oracle: The

...(I guess it was a dream, but even now it all 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 incredible beauty of the cities)
(and the pure spirit of man 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 had been crushed by the federation long ago.)
(I saw now how meaningless life had become the loss)
(of all things)...

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

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

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

They left the long ago
The elder race learn and grow.
Their power grows purpose strong
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 despair. I have only the music of)
(the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no live)
(under the of the federation, but there is no other)
(place to go. My last hope is that with my I may pass)
(into the world of my dream, and peace at last)...

The sleep is in my eyes
The dream is in my head.
I a sigh and sadly smile
And lie a in bed.
I wish it might come to pass
Not like all my dreams.
Just think of what my might be
In a world I have seen.
I don't think I can on
Carry on cold and empty life.
Oh, no...
My spirits are low in the of despair...
My spills over...

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