Luyện nghe bài hát Cygnus X - 1 Book ii: Hemispheres

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

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

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

'I will find you and shelter
Show you fire to you warm
Through the endless winter
You can live in and comfort
In the that you transform'

The people were
Coming forth to their prize
ran to build their cities
And among the wise

But one day the streets silent
Yet they knew not what was
The to build these fine things
Seemed not to be so

The wise men consulted
And the bridge of death was
In of Dionysus
To find out what had lost ...

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

'I bring laughter, I bring
I bring joy and I tears
I soothe your primal fears
off those chains of reason
And your disappears'

The cities were
And the forests echoed
They danced and lived as
They knew love could not be

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

But the winter fell upon
And it caught unprepared
wolves and cold starvation
And the hearts of men ...

IV. Armageddon: The Battle of Heart and
The divided
As the and mind collided
With the people left
For so troubled years
In a cloud of doubts and
world was torn asunder
Into hemispheres

Some themselves, some fought each other
just followed one another
Lost and like their brothers
For their were so unclear
And the truth could not
Their were divided
Into blinded

who did not fight
Brought tales of old to
My 'Rocinante' sailed by
On her flight

To the heart of Cygnus' force
We set our
through that timeless space
To immortal place

V. bringer of balance
I memory and awareness
But I no shape or form
As a disembodied
I am and yet unborn
I passed into Olympus
As was told in of old
To the city of
Marble white and gold

I see the gods in rage on high
across the sky
I move, I cannot hide
I feel a silent scream inside

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

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

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

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

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

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

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