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

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

They through the ages
But neither force would yield
The were divided,
Every a battlefield
Every soul a

I bring and understanding,
I bring wit and fair
Precious gifts beyond
We can a world of wonder
I can you all aware

I find you food and shelter
Show you fire to keep you
the endless winter storm
You can live in grace and
In the that you transform

The people were
Coming forth to claim prize
They ran to build cities
And among the wise

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

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

I bring love to give you
In the darkness of the
In the eternal light
You only trust your feelings
Only love can steer you

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

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

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

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

The divided
As the heart and mind
the people left unguided
For so many years
In a cloud of and fears,
Their world was torn asunder into hemispheres

Some fought themselves, some fought other
just followed one another
Lost and aimless like brothers
For their hearts so unclear
And the truth could not
Their spirits were into blinded hemispheres

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

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

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

I have passed Olympus
As was told in of old
To the of immortals
Marble and purest gold

I see the gods in battle on high,
across the sky
I cannot move, I 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

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

Looking down Olympus
On a world of and fear
Its splintered
Into hemispheres
sat a while in silence
And then turned at last to me
We will 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 pursue a aim

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