Luyện nghe bài hát 2112 (RUSH cover)

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

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

"My friend Jon said it was nicer here than under the atmospheric domes
of the Outer Planets. We have had since 2062, when the surviving planets
banded together 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 found something that it all..."

I.
"And the meek shall the earth."

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

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

Look this world we made
our stock in trade
Come and join the of Man
Oh what a contented world
Let the banners be
the Red Star proudly high in hand

We are the Priests of the of Syrinx
Our computers fill the hallowed halls.
We are the Priests of the of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are within our walls.

III.
... "Behind my beloved waterfall, in the room that was hidden beneath
the cave, I found it. I brushed 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 fingers across 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 could be from
the music of the Temples! I can't to tell the priests about it! ..."

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

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

I can't wait to share this new
The people will all see its
Let all make their own music
The Priests praise my name on this

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

I know it's unusual
To come you so
But I've found an miracle
I that you should know

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

Yes, we know nothing new
It's just a waste of
We have no need for ancient
The is doing fine

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

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

Listen to my
And hear it can do
something here as strong as life
I know that it reach you

annoy us further
We our work to do
think about the average
What use have they for

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

V. The Dream
... "I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so vivid to me.
yet I see the beckoning hand of the as he stood at the summit of the
staircase" ...
... "I see still the beauty of the sculptured 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 ago. I saw now how meaningless
had become with the loss of all these things ..."

I wandered home though the silent
And fell into a sleep
Escape to realms the night
Dream you show me the light?

I stand 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 wondrous
I see the of man arise
With hungry and open eyes

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

VI.
... "I have not left this for days now, it has become my last refuge in my
despair. I have 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 other
to go. My hope 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 sigh and smile
And lie a in bed
I that it might come to pass
Not fade all my dreams

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

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