2112 (Oracle: The Dream) |
… «I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so vivid to me. |
Clearly yet I see the beckoning hand of the oracle as he stood at the summit |
of the staircase» … |
… «I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities and the pure |
spirit of man revealed in the lives and works of this world. |
I was overwhelmed |
by both wonder and understanding as I saw a completely different way to life, |
a way that had been crushed by the Federation long ago. |
I saw now how |
meaningless life had become with the loss of all these things …» |
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! |
