| Part II: Temples of Syrinx
|
| We’ve taken care of everything
|
| The words you hear the songs you sing
|
| The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
|
| It’s one for all and all for one
|
| We work together common sons
|
| Never need to wonder how or why
|
| We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
|
| Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
|
| We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
|
| All the gifts of life are held within our walls
|
| Look around this world we made
|
| Equality our stock in trade
|
| Come and join the Brotherhood of Man
|
| Oh what a nice contented world
|
| Let the banners be unfurled
|
| Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand
|
| We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
|
| Our great computers fill the hallowed halls.
|
| We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
|
| All the gifts of life are held within our walls.
|
| Part III: Discovery
|
| What can this strange device be?
|
| When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
|
| It’s got wires that vibrate and give music
|
| What can this thing be that I found?
|
| See how it sings like a sad heart
|
| And joyously screams out its pain
|
| Sounds that build high like a mountain
|
| Or notes that fall gently like rain
|
| I can’t wait to share this new wonder
|
| The people will all see its light
|
| Let them all make their own music
|
| The Priests praise my name on this night
|
| Part IV: Presentation
|
| I know it’s most unusual
|
| To come before you so But I’ve found an ancient miracle
|
| I thought that you should know
|
| Listen to my music
|
| And hear what it can do There’s something here as strong as life
|
| I know that it will reach you
|
| Yes, we know it’s nothing new
|
| It’s just a waste of time
|
| We have no need for ancient ways
|
| The world is doing fine
|
| Another toy will help destroy
|
| The elder race of man
|
| Forget about your silly whim
|
| It doesn’t fit the plan
|
| I can’t believe you’re saying
|
| These things just can’t be true
|
| Our world could use this beauty
|
| Just think what we might do Listen to my music
|
| And hear what it can do There’s something here as strong as life
|
| I know that it will reach you
|
| Don’t annoy us further
|
| We have our work to do Just think about the average
|
| What use have they for you?
|
| Another toy will help destroy
|
| The elder race of man
|
| Forget about your silly whim
|
| It doesn’t fit the plan
|
| Part V: The Oracle (The Dream)
|
| I wandered home though the silent streets
|
| And fell into a fitful sleep
|
| Escape to realms beyond the night
|
| Dream can’t you show me the light?
|
| I stand atop a spiral stair
|
| An oracle confronts me there
|
| He leads me on light years away
|
| Through astral nights, galactic days
|
| I see the works of gifted hands
|
| That grace this strange and wondrous land
|
| I see the hand of man arise
|
| With hungry mind and open eyes
|
| They left the planet long ago
|
| The elder race still learn and grow
|
| Their power grows with purpose strong
|
| To claim the home where they belong
|
| Home, to tear the Temples down…
|
| Home, to change.
|
| Part VI: Soliloque
|
| The sleep is still in my eyes
|
| The dream is still in my head
|
| I heave a sigh and sadly smile
|
| And lie a while in bed
|
| I wish that it might come to pass
|
| Not fade like all my dreams
|
| Just think of what my life might be In a world like I have seen
|
| I don’t think I can carry on Carry on this cold and empty life
|
| Oh… noo!
|
| My spirits are low in the depths of despair
|
| My lifeblood spills over.
|
| Part VII: Grand Finale
|
| Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
|
| Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
|
| Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
|
| We have assumed control.
|
| We have assumed control.
|
| We have assumed control. |
