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

They through the ages
But still force would yield
The were divided,
Every a battlefield
Every a battlefield

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

I will find you food and
Show you to keep you warm
Through the endless storm
You can in grace and comfort
In the that you transform

The were delighted
Coming to claim their prize
They ran to their cities
And among the wise

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

The wise men were
And the bridge of was crossed
In of Dionysus
To find out what had lost

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

I bring laughter, I bring
I joy and I bring tears
I will soothe your fears
off those chains of reason
And your disappears

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

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

But the winter fell them
And it caught unprepared,
Bringing wolves and cold
And the hearts of men

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

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

who did not fight
Brought tales of old to
My sailed by night
On her flight

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

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

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

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

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

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

down from Olympus
On a world of doubt and
Its surface
sorry hemispheres
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 goals are all the
We can run and free
If we a different aim

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