I.

"And the meek shall the earth."

II. of Syrinx

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

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

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 held our walls.

Look around this world we
Equality, our in trade.
Come and the Brotherhood of Man.
Oh, a nice contented world.
Let the banners be
Hold the Red Star high in hand.

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

III.
...(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, holding it 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 hand, I produced my first harmonious)
(sounds, and my own music!)
(How it could be)
(from the music of the temples! I wait to tell the)
(Priests it!)...

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

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

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

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

I know most unusual to come before you so
But I've found an miracle I thought that you should know.

Listen to my music, and what it can do.
There's here as strong as life
I know that it will 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 help destroy the elder of man!
Forget about your silly whim, it fit the plan.

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

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

Another toy help destroy the elder 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. 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 pure spirit of man revealed in the 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 life had with the loss)
(of all things)...

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

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

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

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

VI.
...(I have not left cave for days now, it has become)
(my last refuge in my total despair. I have the music of)
(the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no live)
(under the control of the federation, but is no other)
(place to go. My last hope is that with my 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 that it might come to pass
Not like all my dreams.
think of what my life might be
In a world like I seen.
I think I can carry on
on this cold 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 of the Solar Federation.
We have control.
We have control.
We have control.
