I.

"And the meek inherit the earth."

II. of Syrinx

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

We've taken of everything
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.
need to wonder how or why.

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

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

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

III.
...(Behind my beloved waterfall, in the room that was)
(hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I 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 across the wires, and to turn)
(the keys to them sound differently. As I struck the)
(wires with my other hand, I produced my harmonious)
(sounds, and my own music!)
(How it could be)
(from the of the temples! I cant wait to tell the)
(Priests it!)...

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

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

I wait to share this new wonder
The people all see its light.
Let them all make their own
The Priests 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 temple hall)...
...(Instead of the grateful joy 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 it's most unusual to come before you so
But found an ancient miracle I thought that you should know.

Listen to my music, and hear it can do.
There's something here as 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 ways, the world is doing fine.

Another toy will help destroy the race of man!
Forget about your silly whim, it fit the plan.

I can't believe 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.
There's here as strong as life
I know that it will you.

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

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

V. The Dream

...(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 world. I was overwhelmed by both wonder and)
(understanding as I saw a completely way to life)
(A way that had been crushed by the long 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.
Escape to beyond the night
Dream, can't you show me the

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

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

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

VI.
...(I not left this cave for days now, it has become)
(my last refuge in my despair. I have only the music of)
(the waterfall to me now. I can no longer live)
(under the of the federation, but there is no other)
(place to go. My last is that with my death I may pass)
(into the world of my dream, and peace at last)...

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

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