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

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

They battled the ages
But still force would yield
The were divided,
Every soul a
Every soul a

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

I will find you food and
Show you fire to you warm
Through the endless winter
You can live in and comfort
In the world that you

The were delighted
forth to claim their prize
They ran to build their
And among the wise

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

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

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

I laughter, I bring music
I bring joy and I bring
I will soothe primal fears
Throw off those chains of
And prison disappears

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

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

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

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

fought themselves, some fought each other
Most followed one another
Lost and aimless like their
For hearts were so unclear
And the truth not appear
Their were divided into blinded hemispheres

Some who did not
tales of old to light
My Rocinante' sailed by
On her final

To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome
We set our
Spiraled through that space
To this place

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

I have passed Olympus
As was in tales of old
To the of immortals
white and purest gold

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

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

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

Looking from Olympus
On a world of doubt and
Its splintered
sorry hemispheres
They sat a while in
And then they turned at to me
We will you Cygnus,
The God of Balance you be

We can walk our together
If our goals are all the
We can run alone and
If we a different aim

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