Luyện nghe bài hát Cygnus X-1 Book Ii: Hemispheres I. Prelude

When our weary world was
The struggle of the first began
The of Love and Reason
Sought alone to rule the of man

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

I truth and understanding,
I wit and wisdom fair
Precious beyond compare
We can build a world of
I can make you all

I will find you and shelter
Show you fire to keep you
the endless winter storm
You can live in and comfort
In the world that you

The people were
Coming forth to claim prize
They ran to build cities
And converse the wise

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

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

I love to give you solace
In the darkness of the
In the Heart's light
You need only your feelings
Only love can steer you

I bring laughter, I bring
I joy and I bring tears
I will soothe your primal
Throw off chains of reason
And prison disappears

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

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

But the winter fell upon
And it caught unprepared,
Bringing wolves and starvation
And the of men despaired

The divided
As the heart and mind
With the left unguided
For so many troubled
In a of doubts and fears,
world was torn asunder into hollow hemispheres

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

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

To the heart of Cygnus' force
We set our
Spiraled through timeless space
To this place

I have memory and
But I have no or form
As a spirit
I am dead and yet

I passed into Olympus
As was in tales of old
To the city of
Marble white and gold

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

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

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

Looking from Olympus
On a of doubt and fear
Its surface
Into hemispheres
They sat a in silence
And then turned at last to me
We call you Cygnus,
The God of you shall be

We can walk our together
If our goals are all the
We can run alone and
If we a different aim

Let the of love be lighted
Let the love of truth shine
Sensibility, with sense and liberty
With the heart and mind in a single perfect sphere
