When our weary was young
The struggle of the ancients began
The of love and reason
Sought alone to the fate of man

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

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

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

The were delighted
Coming forth to claim their
They ran to build their
And converse the wise

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

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

In the darkness of the
In the heart's eternal

And the of men despaired ...

IV. Armageddon: The of Heart and Mind
The divided
As the heart and mind
the people left unguided
For so many years
In a of doubts and fears
Their world was asunder
hollow hemispheres

Some fought themselves, some each other
Most just one another
Lost and like their brothers
For their 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 final

We set our
Spiralled through that space
To this immortal

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

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

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

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

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

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

The sphere: a 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 truth of be lighted
Let the love of truth clear

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