I.
our weary world was young
The of the ancients first began
The gods of and reason
alone to rule the fate of man

They through the ages
But still force would yield
The people were
Every a battlefield
soul a battlefield

II. Bringer of Wisdom
'i truth and understanding
I wit, and wisdom fair
Precious gifts compare
We can build a of wonder
I can make you all

'I will you food and shelter
Show you fire to you warm
Through the endless storm
You can live in grace and
In the that you transform'

The people delighted
Coming forth to their prize
They ran to build their
And converse the wise

But one day the streets silent
Yet they knew not was wrong
The urge to build fine things
not to be so strong

The men were consulted
And the bridge of was crossed
In quest of
To find out what had lost ...

III. Dionysus: of Love
'I bring love to you solace
In the darkness of the
In the eternal light
You need only your feelings
Only can steer you right'

'I bring laughter, I music
I bring joy and I tears
I will soothe your primal
Throw off chains of reason
And prison disappears'

The cities abandoned
And the forests song
danced and lived as brothers
They knew could not be wrong

Food and wine they had
And they slept beneath the
The were contented
And the gods watched from

But the winter fell upon
And it caught them
wolves and cold starvation
And the of men despaired ...

IV. Armageddon: The Battle of and Mind
The divided
As the and mind collided
With the people unguided
For so many years
In a of doubts and fears
Their was torn asunder
Into hollow

fought themselves, some fought each other
Most followed one another
Lost and aimless like brothers
For hearts were so unclear
And the truth not appear
spirits were divided
Into blinded

who did not fight
Brought of old to light
My 'Rocinante' by night
On her flight

To the heart of Cygnus' force
We set our
Spiralled through that timeless
To this immortal

V. Cygnus: of balance
I memory and awareness
But I have no shape or
As a disembodied
I am dead and yet
I passed into Olympus
As was in tales of old
To the of immortals
white and purest gold

I see the in battle rage on high
Thunderbolts the sky
I cannot move, I hide
I feel a silent scream begin

Then all at once the chaos
A stillness fell, a peace
The felt my silent cry
And their struggle, mystified

was astonished
Dionysus me mad
But they heard my story
And wondered, and were sad

down from Olympus
On a world of doubt and
Its splintered
Into sorry

They sat a in silence
Then they at last to me
'we call you Cygnus,
The God of you shall be'

The a kind of dream
We can our road together
If our are all the same
We can run and free
If we pursue a aim

Let the truth of be lighted
Let the love of truth clear

Armed with sense and
With the and mind united
In a single sphere
