Luyện nghe bài hát 2112 (RUSH cover)

"2112" was by Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Pert of the band, Rush.

"I lie awake, out at the bleakness of Megadon. City and sky become one,
merging into a single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The Twin Moons,
two pale orbs as they trace way across the steely sky. I used to think I
had a pretty good life here, just plugging my machine for the day, then
Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening.

"My Jon always said it was nicer here than under the atmospheric domes
of the Outer Planets. We have had peace since 2062, the surviving planets
were banded together under the Red Star of the Federation. The less
gave us a few new moons.
I believed what I was told. I it was a good life, I thought I was
happy. I found something that changed it all..."

I.
"And the meek inherit the earth."

II. The Temples of
... "The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the of every
Federation city. I have always been awed by them, to that every single
facet of every life is and directed from within! Our books, our
music, our work and are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of the
priests..."
We've taken care of
The words you the songs you sing
The pictures that pleasure to your eyes
one for all and all for one
We work together sons
Never need to how or why

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

around this world we made
Equality our stock in
and join the Brotherhood of Man
Oh a nice contented world
Let the banners be
the Red Star proudly high in hand

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

... "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,
holding it reverently 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 sound differently. As I struck the wires with my other hand, I my
first sounds, and soon my own music! How different it could be from
the music of the Temples! I can't wait to the priests about it! ..."

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

See how it sings a sad heart
And joyously screams out its
that build high like a mountain
Or notes fall gently like rain

I wait to share this new wonder
The will all see its light
Let them all make own music
The praise my name on this night

IV.
... "In the sudden as I finished playing, I looked up to a circle of
grim, expressionless faces. Father Brown to his feet, and his somnolent
echoed throughout the silent Temple Hall." ...
... "Instead of the grateful joy that I expected, they were words of
rejection! of praise, sullen dismissal. I watched in shock and horror
as Father Brown ground my precious instrument to splinters his feet..."

But I've an ancient miracle

And hear it can do

V. The Dream
... "I guess it was a dream, but even now it all so vivid to me. Clearly
yet I see the beckoning of the oracle as he stood at the summit of the
staircase" ...
... "I see the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities and the pure
spirit of man revealed 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 Federation long ago. I saw now how
life had become with the of all these things ..."

I home though the silent streets
And into a fitful sleep
Escape to realms beyond the
Dream you show me the light?

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

I see the works of gifted
That grace this strange and wondrous
I see the of man arise
hungry mind and open eyes

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

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

The sleep is still in my
The dream is still in my
I heave a and sadly smile
And lie a in bed
I that it might come to pass
Not fade all my dreams

Just think of my life might be
In a world I have seen
I don't I can carry on
on this cold and empty life
Oh...noo!

My spirits are low in the of despair
My spills over...
