"And the shall inherit the earth."

II. Temples of

...(The massive grey of the temples rise from the)
(heart of every federation city. I always been awed)
(by them, to that 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 care of
words you read and to songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to eyes.
one for all and all for one
We together, common sons.
Never need to how or why.

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

Look around this world we
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 gifts of life are held our walls.

III.
...(Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room 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 what it might be, but it was)
(beautiful)...
...(I learned to lay my fingers the wires, and to turn)
(the to make them sound differently. As I struck the)
(wires with my hand, I produced my first harmonious)
(sounds, and my own music!)
(How different it be)
(from the of the temples! I cant wait to tell the)
(Priests it!)...

What can this strange be?
When I touch it, it gives a sound.
got wires that vibrate and give music.
What can this thing be that I

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

I can't to share this new wonder
The will all see its light.
Let them all their own music
The Priests praise my name on 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 I expected, they 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 it's most unusual to come before you so
But I've found an ancient I thought that you should know.

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

Yes, we know, it's nothing new, it's just a of time.
We have no need for ancient ways, the world is fine.

Another toy will help the elder race of man!
Forget 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 beauty, just think what we might do.
Listen to my music, and hear it can do.
something here as strong as life
I know it will reach you.

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

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

V. The Dream

...(I guess it was a dream, but 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 spirit of man revealed in the lives and works)
(of this world. I was 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 become the loss)
(of all things)...

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

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

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

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

VI.
...(I have not this cave for days now, it has become)
(my last refuge in my total despair. I have the music of)
(the to comfort 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 world of my dream, and know 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 fade all my dreams.
Just think of what my life be
In a world like I seen.
I don't 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
