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

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

battled through the ages
But neither force would yield
The people divided,
Every soul a
soul a battlefield

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

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

The people delighted
forth to claim their prize
They ran to their cities
And converse the wise

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

The wise men consulted
And the bridge of death was
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 only trust your feelings
Only love can you right

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

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

Food and wine they had
And they beneath the stars
The people contented
And the Gods from afar

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

The Universe
As the heart and mind
With the left unguided
For so troubled years
In a of doubts and fears,
Their world was torn asunder into hemispheres

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

who did not fight
Brought tales of old to
My Rocinante' sailed by
On her final

To the heart of Cygnus' force
We set our
Spiraled that timeless space
To this place

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

I have into Olympus
As was told in of old
To the of immortals
Marble white and gold

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

Then all at once the ceased
A stillness fell, a peace
The felt my silent cry
And their struggle, mystified

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

Looking down Olympus
On a world of and fear
Its splintered
Into hemispheres
They sat a in silence
And they turned at last to me
We will you Cygnus,
The God of you shall be

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

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