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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I bring love to you solace
In the darkness of the
In the Heart's eternal
You only trust your feelings
Only love can you right

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

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

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

But the fell upon them
And it caught unprepared,
Bringing and cold starvation
And the hearts of men

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

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

My sailed by night
On her flight

To the of Cygnus' fearsome force
We set our
Spiraled through timeless space
To this immortal

I memory and awareness
But I have no shape or
As a spirit
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 rage on high,
Thunderbolts the sky
I move, I cannot hide
I feel a silent scream inside

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

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

down from Olympus
On a world of doubt and
Its splintered
Into sorry
sat a while in silence
And then they turned at to me
We will you Cygnus,
The God of Balance you be

We can our road together
If our goals are all the
We can run and free
If we a different aim

Let the truth of love be
Let the love of truth clear
Sensibility, armed with and liberty
With the and mind united in a single perfect sphere
