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

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

They battled through the
But still neither force yield
The were divided,
Every soul a
Every soul a

I bring and understanding,
I bring wit and fair
Precious gifts compare
We can build a world of
I can make you all

I will you food and shelter
Show you fire to you warm
Through the winter storm
You can in grace and comfort
In the that you transform

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

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

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

I bring love to give you
In the darkness of the
In the Heart's eternal
You need only trust feelings
Only love can you right

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

The cities abandoned,
And the echoed song
They 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 Gods watched afar

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

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

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

who did not fight
Brought of old to light
My Rocinante' by night
On her flight

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

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

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

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

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

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

Looking from Olympus
On a world of doubt and
Its surface
sorry hemispheres
They sat a in silence
And then they at last to me
We call you Cygnus,
The God of you shall be

We can walk our road
If our are all the same
We can run alone and
If we a different aim

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