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

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

They battled through the
But still neither force would
The people divided
Every a battlefield
soul a battlefield

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

'I will find you food and
you fire to keep you warm
Through the winter storm
You can live in and comfort
In the world you transform'

The people delighted
Coming to claim their prize
They ran to build cities
And among the wise

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

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

III. Dionysus: of Love
'I bring love to you solace
In the of the night
In the heart's eternal
You only trust your feelings
Only love can you right'

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

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

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

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

IV. Armageddon: The of Heart and Mind
The universe
As the and mind collided
With the left unguided
For so troubled years
In a of doubts and fears
Their world was asunder
Into hemispheres

Some fought themselves, some each other
Most followed one another
and aimless like their brothers
For their were so unclear
And the truth not appear
Their spirits divided
blinded hemispheres

Some who did not
Brought tales of old to
My 'Rocinante' by night
On her final

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

V. bringer of balance
I have memory and
But I no shape or form
As a disembodied
I am dead and yet
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 stillness fell, a sudden
The warriors my silent cry
And stayed their struggle,

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

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

sat a while in silence
Then turned at last to me
'we call you Cygnus,
The God of you shall 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 of truth shine clear

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