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

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

I truth and understanding,
I wit and wisdom fair
Precious gifts compare
We can a world of wonder
I can you all aware

I will find you and shelter
Show you to keep you warm
Through the endless storm
You can live in grace and
In the world you transform

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

But one day the streets fell
Yet knew not what was wrong
The urge to build these fine
not to be so strong

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

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

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

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

and wine they had aplenty
And they slept beneath the
The were contented
And the watched from afar

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

The Universe
As the and mind collided
With the people left
For so many troubled
In a of doubts and fears,
Their world was asunder into hollow hemispheres

Some fought themselves, some fought each
Most just one another
Lost and like their brothers
For their hearts were so
And the could not appear
Their spirits were into blinded hemispheres

On her final

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

I memory and awareness
But I have no or form
As a spirit
I am and yet unborn

I have into Olympus
As was in tales of old
To the city of
Marble white and purest

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

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

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

Looking down Olympus
On a world of and fear
Its splintered
Into sorry
They sat a in silence
And then they turned at 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 and free
If we pursue a aim

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