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 into a single plane, a vast sea of grey. The Twin Moons, just
two pale orbs as they 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 Paper in the evening.

"My friend Jon 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 together under the Red Star of the Federation. The less
fortunate us a few new moons.
I believed I was told. I thought it was a good life, I thought I was
happy. Then I found that changed it all..."

I.
"And the shall inherit the earth."

II. The of Syrinx
... "The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the of every
Federation city. I have always been awed by them, to think that single
facet 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 care of everything
The words you the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to eyes
one for all and all for one
We together common sons
Never to wonder how or why

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

Look around world we made
Equality our stock in
Come and join the of Man
Oh what a nice world
Let the banners be
Hold the Red Star proudly high in

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 life are within our walls.

III.
... "Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was beneath
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 idea what it be, but it was
beautiful" ...
... "I learned to lay my fingers the wires, and to turn the keys to make
them differently. As I struck the wires with 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 can't wait to the priests about it! ..."

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

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

I can't wait to share new wonder
The people will all see its
Let all make their own music
The Priests 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 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! Instead of praise, sullen dismissal. I watched in and horror
as Father Brown ground my precious to splinters beneath his feet..."

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

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

Yes, we know nothing new
It's a waste of time
We have no for ancient ways
The world is fine

Another toy will destroy
The race of man
Forget about your whim
It fit the plan, no!

I believe you're saying
things just can't be true
Our world could use beauty
Just think what we do

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

Don't annoy us
We have our to do
Just about the average
What use have 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 now it all seems so vivid to me. Clearly
yet I see the beckoning of the oracle as he stood at the summit of the
staircase" ...
... "I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities and the
spirit of man revealed in the lives and of this world. I was overwhelmed
by both wonder and understanding as I saw a different way to life, a
way that had been crushed by the Federation ago. I saw now how meaningless
life had with the loss of all these things ..."

I wandered home the silent streets
And fell a fitful sleep
Escape to beyond the night
can't you show me the light?

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

I see the works of hands
That grace strange and wondrous land
I see the of man arise
With mind and open eyes

They left the long ago
The elder race learn and grow
Their grows with purpose strong
To the home where they belong
Home, to tear the down...
Home, to change...

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

The sleep is 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 all my dreams

think of what my life might be
In a like I have seen
I think I can carry on
Carry on this cold and life
Oh...noo!

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

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