"And the meek inherit the earth."

II. of Syrinx

...(The massive grey of the temples rise from the)
(heart of every federation city. I have always awed)
(by them, to think every single 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 taken of everything
From words you read and to you sing
The pictures that give to your eyes.
one for all and all for one
We work together, sons.
Never to wonder how or why.

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

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

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

III.
...(Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little that was)
(hidden beneath the cave, I it. I brushed away the)
(dust of the years, and picked it up, it reverently in)
(my hands. I had no idea it might be, but it was)
(beautiful)...
...(I learned to lay my fingers the wires, and to turn)
(the keys to make them sound differently. As I 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 wait to the)
(Priests it!)...

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

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

I wait to share this new wonder
The people 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 circle of grim, faces. Father brown)
(rose to his feet, and his voice echoed)
(throughout the silent hall)...
...(Instead of the grateful joy that I expected, were)
(words of quiet rejection! of praise, sullen)
(dismissal. I watched in shock and as father brown)
(ground my instrument to splinters beneath his)
(feet)...

I know it's most unusual to before you so
But I've found an ancient miracle I 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 have no need for ways, the world is doing fine.

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

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

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

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

V. Oracle: The

...(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 at the summit of the staircase)...
...(I see the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities)
(and the pure of man revealed in the lives and works)
(of this world. I was overwhelmed by 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 life had become with the loss)
(of all things)...

I home though the silent streets
And fell into a sleep.
Escape to beyond the night
Dream, can't you show me the

I stand atop a stair
An oracle me there.
He leads me on light years
Through astral nights, days

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

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

VI.
...(I not left this cave for days now, it has become)
(my last in my total despair. I have only 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 with 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 that it might come to pass
Not fade all my dreams.
Just think of what my might be
In a world I have seen.
I don't I can carry on
Carry on this cold and life.
Oh, no...
My spirits are low in the of despair...
My lifeblood over...
