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

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

battled through the ages
But still neither would yield
The were divided,
Every soul a
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
you fire to keep you warm
Through the endless storm
You can in grace and comfort
In the that you transform

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

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

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

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

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 could not be wrong

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

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

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

Some fought themselves, some each other
Most just followed one
and aimless like their brothers
For their hearts were so
And the truth not appear
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 fearsome force
We set our
Spiraled that timeless space
To immortal place

I have and awareness
But I have no shape or
As a spirit
I am dead and yet

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

I see the gods in battle on high,
across the sky
I cannot move, I cannot
I feel a silent scream inside

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

Apollo was
thought me mad
But they heard my story
And they wondered, and sad

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

We can walk our together
If our are all the same
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 and liberty
With the heart and united in a single perfect sphere
