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

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

battled through the ages
But still neither force yield
The were divided,
Every soul a
soul a battlefield

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

I will find you and shelter
Show you fire to keep you
Through the endless storm
You can live in grace and
In the world you transform

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

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

The wise men were
And the bridge of death was
In quest of
To find out what had lost

I bring to give you solace
In the of the night
In the Heart's eternal
You need only trust feelings
Only can steer you right

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

The were abandoned,
And the echoed song
They danced and lived as
They knew could not be wrong

Food and they had aplenty
And they slept beneath the
The people were
And the Gods from afar

But the fell upon them
And it them unprepared,
Bringing wolves and cold
And the of men despaired

The Universe
As the heart and collided
the people left unguided
For so troubled years
In a cloud of and fears,
world was torn asunder into hollow hemispheres

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

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

To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome
We set our
through that timeless space
To this place

I have memory and
But I have no shape or
As a disembodied
I am dead and yet

I have passed Olympus
As was told in of old
To the city of
Marble and purest gold

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

Then all at the chaos ceased
A stillness fell, a peace
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 from
On a world of and fear
Its splintered
Into sorry
sat a while in silence
And then they at last to me
We will you Cygnus,
The God of Balance you be

We can walk our road
If our goals are all the
We can run and free
If we pursue a aim

Let the truth of be lighted
Let the of truth shine clear
Sensibility, armed with sense and
the heart and mind united in a single perfect sphere
