Luyện nghe bài hát 2112 (RUSH cover)

"2112" was written by 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 grey. The Twin Moons, just
two pale as they trace their way across the steely sky. I used to think I
had a good life here, just plugging into my machine for the day, then
watching Templevision or reading a Temple 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, when the planets
were banded under the Red Star of the Solar Federation. The less
fortunate us a few new moons.
I what I was told. I thought it was a good life, I thought I was
happy. Then I something that changed it all..."

I.
"And the meek inherit the earth."

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

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

Look around world we made
our stock 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 of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great fill the hallowed halls.
We are the Priests of the of Syrinx
All the gifts of are held within our walls.

III.
... "Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was hidden
the cave, I found it. I brushed away the dust of the years, and it up,
holding it reverently in my hands. I had no what 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 my other hand, I produced my
first sounds, and soon my own music! How different it could be from
the music of the Temples! I wait to tell the priests about it! ..."

can this strange device be?
When I it, it gives forth a sound
got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this be that I found?

See how it sings like a sad
And joyously screams out its
Sounds that 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 make own music
The Priests praise my on this night

IV.
... "In the sudden silence as I finished playing, I up to a circle of
grim, expressionless faces. Brown rose to his feet, and his somnolent
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 horror
as Brown ground my precious instrument to splinters beneath his feet..."

I know most unusual
To come you so
But I've found an miracle
I thought you should know

to my music
And hear it can do
There's something here as as life
I that it will reach you

Yes, we it's nothing new
It's a waste of time
We have no need for ancient
The world is doing

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

I can't believe you're
These things just be true
Our could use this beauty
Just think we might do

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

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

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

V. The Dream
... "I guess it was a dream, but now it all seems so vivid 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 cities and the pure
spirit of man revealed in the lives and of this world. I was overwhelmed
by both and understanding 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 loss of all things ..."

I wandered though the silent streets
And into a fitful sleep
Escape to realms the night
can't you show me the light?

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

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

left the planet long ago
The elder race still learn and
Their power with purpose strong
To claim the home where they
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 of the waterfall to comfort me now. I can
no longer live under the control of the Federation, but there is no other
to go. My last hope is that with my death I may into the world of my
dream, and know at last."

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

Just of what 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...

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