| [00:00.00][I. Prelude] |
|
| [02:59.17] |
When our weary world was young |
| [03:02.21] |
The struggle of the ancients first began |
| [03:06.48] |
The gods of love and reason |
| [03:09.26] |
Sought alone to rule the fate of man |
| [03:20.23] |
They battled through the ages |
| [03:23.63] |
But still neither force would yield |
| [03:27.07] |
The people were divided |
| [03:29.86] |
Every soul a battlefield |
| [03:33.29] |
Every soul a battlefield |
| [04:24.85][II. Apollo / Dionysus] |
|
| [04:27.85][Apollo: Bringer Of Wisdom] |
|
| [04:36.36] |
'I bring truth and understanding |
| [04:39.25] |
I bring wit and wisdom fair |
| [04:42.05] |
Precious gifts beyond compare |
| [04:52.43] |
We can build a world of wonder |
| [04:55.47] |
I can make you all aware |
| [04:58.99] |
I will find you food and shelter |
| [05:02.18] |
Show you fire to keep you warm |
| [05:05.23] |
Through the endless winter storm |
| [05:16.09] |
You can live in grace and comfort |
| [05:18.78] |
In the world that you transform' |
| [05:38.56] |
The people were delighted |
| [05:41.19] |
Coming forth to claim their prize |
| [05:45.81] |
They ran to build their cities |
| [05:48.76] |
And converse among the wise |
| [05:52.55] |
But one day the streets fell silent |
| [05:55.48] |
Yet they knew not what was wrong |
| [05:59.33] |
The urge to build these fine things |
| [06:03.24] |
Seemed not to be so strong |
| [06:06.84] |
The wise men were consulted |
| [06:09.92] |
And the Bridge of Death was crossed |
| [06:13.45] |
In quest of Dionysus |
| [06:16.66] |
To find out what they had lost |
| [06:58.01][Dionysus: Bringer Of Love] |
|
| [07:05.96] |
'I bring love to give you solace |
| [07:08.54] |
In the darkness of the night |
| [07:11.58] |
In the Heart's eternal light |
| [07:21.54] |
You need only trust your feelings |
| [07:25.19] |
Only love can steer you right |
| [07:28.68] |
I bring laughter, I bring music |
| [07:31.87] |
I bring joy and I bring tears |
| [07:34.90] |
I will soothe your primal fears |
| [07:45.69] |
Throw off those chains of reason |
| [07:48.62] |
And your prison disappears' |
| [08:08.28] |
The cities were abandoned |
| [08:10.96] |
And the forests echoed song |
| [08:14.93] |
They danced and lived as brothers |
| [08:18.51] |
They knew love could not be wrong |
| [08:22.66] |
Food and wine they had aplenty |
| [08:25.44] |
And they slept beneath the stars |
| [08:29.13] |
The people were contented |
| [08:33.09] |
And the gods watched from afar |
| [08:36.83] |
But the winter fell upon them |
| [08:39.82] |
And it caught them unprepared |
| [08:43.52] |
Bringing wolves and cold starvation |
| [08:46.96] |
And the hearts of men despaired |
| [09:46.25][III. Armageddon: The Battle Of Heart and Mind] |
|
| [09:53.80] |
The universe divided |
| [09:55.67] |
As the heart and mind collided |
| [09:57.74] |
With the people left unguided |
| [09:59.82] |
For so many troubled years |
| [10:02.00] |
In a cloud of doubts and fears |
| [10:04.13] |
Their world was torn asunder into hollow |
| [10:08.07] |
Hemispheres |
| [10:20.56] |
Some fought themselves, some fought each other |
| [10:23.04] |
Most just followed one another |
| [10:25.06] |
Lost and aimless like their brothers |
| [10:27.20] |
For their hearts were so unclear |
| [10:29.52] |
And the truth could not appear |
| [10:31.36] |
Their spirits were divided into blinded |
| [10:35.07] |
Hemispheres |
| [10:56.25] |
Some who did not fight |
| [10:58.90] |
Brought tales of old to light |
| [11:04.59] |
'My Rocinante sailed by night |
| [11:08.17] |
On her final flight' |
| [11:12.52] |
To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome force |
| [11:16.52] |
We set our course |
| [11:20.79] |
Spiralled through that timeless space |
| [11:24.59] |
To this immortal place |
| [11:59.73][IV. Cygnus: Bringer Of Balance] |
|
| [12:44.59] |
I have memory and awareness |
| [12:48.73] |
But I have no shape or form |
| [12:53.84] |
As a disembodied spirit |
| [12:58.00] |
I am dead and yet unborn |
| [13:03.86] |
I have passed into Olympus |
| [13:07.40] |
As was told in tales of old |
| [13:11.95] |
To the city of Immortals |
| [13:15.90] |
Marble white and purest gold... |
| [14:05.90] |
I see the gods in battle rage on high... |
| [14:12.97] |
Thunderbolts across the sky... |
| [14:18.59] |
I cannot move, I cannot hide... |
| [14:24.87] |
I feel a silent scream begin inside... |
| [14:34.83] |
Then all at once the chaos ceased |
| [14:38.13] |
A stillness fell, a sudden peace |
| [14:41.52] |
The warriors felt my silent cry |
| [14:44.85] |
And stayed their struggle, mystified |
| [14:51.72] |
Apollo was atonished |
| [14:54.66] |
Dionysus thought me mad |
| [14:58.50] |
But they heard my story further |
| [15:02.28] |
And they wondered, and were sad |
| [15:06.94] |
Looking down from Olympus |
| [15:10.09] |
On a world of doubt and fear |
| [15:15.91] |
Its surface splintered |
| [15:17.86] |
Into sorry Hemispheres |
| [15:37.96] |
They sat a while in silence |
| [15:41.40] |
Then they turned at last to me |
| [15:44.74] |
'We will call you Cygnus |
| [15:47.73] |
The god of Balance you shall be' |
| [16:53.28][V. The Sphere: A Kind Of Dream] |
|
| [17:02.64] |
We can walk our road together |
| [17:07.87] |
If our goals are all the same |
| [17:13.68] |
We can run alone and free |
| [17:19.01] |
If we pursue a different aim |
| [17:24.73] |
Let the truth of love be lighted |
| [17:30.25] |
Let the love of truth shine clear |
| [17:35.12] |
Sensibility |
| [17:38.01] |
Armed with sense and liberty |
| [17:41.34] |
With the heart and mind united in a single |
| [17:47.59] |
Perfect |
| [17:50.24] |
Sphere |
