I.
When our world was young
The struggle of the first began
The gods of love and
Sought to rule the fate of man

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

II. Apollo: Bringer of
'i bring truth and
I bring wit, and fair
Precious beyond compare
We can build a world of
I can make you all

'I will you food and shelter
Show you fire to you warm
Through the winter storm
You can in grace and comfort
In the world you transform'

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

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

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

III. Bringer of Love
'I bring love to give you
In the of the night
In the heart's eternal
You need trust your feelings
Only love can you right'

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

The cities were
And the forests song
They danced and lived as
They knew love not be wrong

and wine they had aplenty
And they slept beneath the
The people contented
And the gods from afar

But the winter fell upon
And it them unprepared
Bringing wolves and cold
And the hearts of men ...

IV. The Battle of Heart and Mind
The divided
As the heart and collided
With the people unguided
For so many years
In a cloud of doubts and
Their world was asunder
Into hollow

Some fought themselves, some each other
Most just one another
Lost and like their brothers
For hearts were so unclear
And the could not appear
Their spirits were
blinded hemispheres

Some who did not
Brought of old to light
My 'Rocinante' sailed by
On her flight

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

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

I see the in battle rage on high
across the sky
I cannot move, I cannot
I a silent scream begin inside

Then all at the chaos ceased
A stillness fell, a peace
The warriors felt my cry
And stayed struggle, mystified

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

Looking down Olympus
On a of doubt and fear
Its splintered
sorry hemispheres

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

The sphere: a kind of
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 with and liberty
With the heart and mind
In a perfect sphere
