Luyện nghe bài hát 2112 (RUSH cover)

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

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

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

I.
"And the meek inherit the earth."

II. The of Syrinx
... "The massive grey of the Temples rise from the heart of every
Federation city. I have been awed by them, to think that every single
of every life is regulated 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 of everything
The words you hear the you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your
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 the hallowed
We are the Priests of the Temples of
All the gifts of are held within our walls

Look this world we made
our stock in trade
Come and the Brotherhood of Man
Oh what a nice world
Let the banners be
Hold the Red Star 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 life are held 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,
holding it reverently in my hands. I had no idea it might be, but it was
beautiful" ...
... "I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn the keys to
them sound differently. As I struck the wires with my other hand, I my
first harmonious sounds, and soon my own music! How different it be from
the of the Temples! I can't wait to tell the priests about 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 like a sad heart
And screams out its pain
Sounds build high like a mountain
Or notes that fall gently rain

I can't to share this new wonder
The people will all see its
Let them all make their own
The Priests praise my on this night

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

I it's most unusual
To come you so
But I've an ancient miracle
I thought that you should

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
We no need for ancient ways
The is doing fine

toy will help destroy
The elder of man
about your silly whim
It fit the plan, no!

I can't believe saying
These things just be true
Our could use this beauty
Just what we might do

to my music
And what it can do
There's something here as strong as
I know that it reach you

Don't us further
We our work to do
Just about the average
use have they for you?

Another toy will help
The elder of man
Forget about silly whim
It fit the plan

V. The Dream
... "I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so to me. Clearly
yet I see the beckoning hand of the as he stood at the summit of the
staircase" ...
... "I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured and the pure
spirit of man revealed in the lives and works of this world. I was
by both wonder and as I saw a completely different 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 wandered home the silent streets
And fell into a fitful
to realms beyond the night
Dream you show me the light?

I stand atop a spiral
An oracle me there
He leads me on light away
Through nights, galactic days

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

They left the long ago
The race still learn and grow
Their grows with purpose strong
To claim the home 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 have only the music of the waterfall to me now. I can
no live under the control of the Federation, but there is no other place
to go. My last hope is that with my I may pass into the world of my
dream, and know at last."

The sleep is still in my
The is still in my head
I a sigh and sadly smile
And lie a in bed
I wish it might come to pass
Not fade like all my

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

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