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! |
