I.
When our world was young
The struggle of the ancients first
The of love and reason
Sought alone to the fate of man

They through the ages
But still neither would yield
The were divided
Every soul a
Every a battlefield

II. Apollo: of Wisdom
'i bring truth and
I bring wit, and wisdom
gifts beyond compare
We can build a world of
I can you all aware'

'I find you food and shelter
Show you fire to you warm
the endless winter storm
You can live in grace and
In the world that you

Coming forth to their prize
ran to build their cities
And converse the wise

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

The men were consulted
And the of death was crossed
In of Dionysus
To find out they had lost ...

As the and mind collided
With the people left
For so many years
In a cloud of doubts and
world was torn asunder
Into hollow

Most followed one another
Lost and aimless like brothers
For hearts were so unclear
And the truth not appear
Their spirits were
blinded hemispheres

Some who did not
Brought of old to light

On her final

To the of Cygnus' fearsome force
We set our

To this immortal

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

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

Then all at once the chaos
A fell, a sudden peace
The warriors my silent cry
And stayed their struggle,

Apollo was
thought me mad
But they heard my further
And they wondered, and sad

Looking down Olympus
On a world of and fear
Its splintered
Into hemispheres

sat a while in silence
Then turned at last to me
'we call you Cygnus,
The God of balance you be'

The sphere: a of dream
We can our road together
If our goals are all the
We can run and free
If we a different aim

Let the truth of be lighted
Let the love of truth shine

Armed sense and liberty
With the and mind united
In a perfect sphere
