When our world was young
The of the ancients first began
The gods of and Reason
Sought to rule the fate of man

They battled the ages
But still force would yield
The people divided,
Every soul a
soul a battlefield

I bring and understanding,
I bring wit and wisdom
gifts beyond compare
We can a world of wonder
I can make you all

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

The were delighted
Coming forth to their prize
They ran to build their
And converse among the

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

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

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

I bring laughter, I bring
I bring joy and I tears
I will soothe your fears
Throw off those of reason
And your prison

The cities abandoned,
And the echoed song
They and lived as brothers
They knew love could not be

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

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

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

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

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

To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome
We set our
Spiraled that timeless space
To immortal place

I have and awareness
But I have no or form
As a disembodied
I am dead and yet

I have into Olympus
As was told in 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

Then all at once the chaos
A stillness fell, a peace
The warriors felt my 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 world of doubt and
Its surface
Into hemispheres
They sat a in silence
And then they turned at to me
We will you Cygnus,
The God of you shall be

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 love of truth shine
Sensibility, armed with and liberty
With the heart and mind in a single perfect sphere
