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

When our weary was young
The struggle of the ancients began
The of Love and Reason
alone to rule the fate of man

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

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

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

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

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

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

I bring love to give you
In the of the night
In the eternal light
You need only your feelings
Only can steer you right

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

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

Food and wine had aplenty
And slept beneath the stars
The were contented
And the watched from afar

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

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

Some fought themselves, fought each other
Most just followed one
Lost and aimless like brothers
For hearts were so unclear
And the could not appear
Their spirits were divided into blinded

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

To the heart of fearsome force
We set our
Spiraled through that timeless
To this place

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

I have passed Olympus
As was in tales of old
To the of immortals
white and purest gold

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

Then all at the chaos ceased
A stillness fell, a sudden
The felt my silent cry
And stayed their struggle,

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

down from Olympus
On a of doubt and fear
Its surface
Into hemispheres
sat a while in silence
And they turned at last to me
We call you Cygnus,
The God of Balance you 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 clear
Sensibility, armed with sense and
With the heart and united in a single perfect sphere
