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

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

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

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

Yes, we know, it's nothing new, just a waste of time.
We have no 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 just can't be true.
Our world could use this beauty, just think what we do.
Listen to my music, and what it can do.
There's something here as strong as
I that it will reach you.

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

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

V. The Dream

...(I it was a dream, but even now it all seems so)
(vivid to me. yet I see the beckoning hand of the)
(Oracle as he stood at the of the staircase)...
...(I see still the beauty of the sculptured cities)
(and the pure spirit of man revealed in the and works)
(of this world. I was overwhelmed by 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)
(of all things)...

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

I stand atop a spiral
An confronts me there.
He leads me on years away
Through astral nights, galactic

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

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

VI.
...(I have not left this for days now, it has become)
(my refuge in my total 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 my death I may pass)
(into the world of my dream, and know at last)...

The is still in my eyes
The is still in my head.
I heave a sigh and smile
And lie a in bed.
I wish that it might to pass
Not fade all my dreams.
Just think of what my might be
In a world like I seen.
I don't I can carry on
Carry on this and empty life.
Oh, no...
My are low in the depths of despair...
My lifeblood over...
