The struggle of the ancients began
The of Love and Reason

I find you food and shelter
Show you fire to keep you

The people delighted
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

And the Gods from afar

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

But I have no or form
As a disembodied

I passed into Olympus
As was told in of old
To the of immortals
Marble white and gold

I see the gods in rage on high,
across the sky
I move, I cannot hide
I feel a silent scream begin

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

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

On a world of and fear
Its splintered
sorry hemispheres
They sat a while in
And they turned at last to me
We will you Cygnus,
The God of you shall be

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

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