Rush - 2112 слова песни

I. OvertureAnd the meek shall inherit the earth.II. Temples of Syrinx... "The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the heart of everyFederation city. I have always been awed by them, to think that every singlefacet of every life is regulated and directed from within! Our books, ourmusic, our work and play are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of thepriests..."We`ve taken care of everythingThe words you hear the songs you singThe pictures that give pleasure to you eyes.It`s one for all and all for oneWe work together common sonsNever need to wonder how or why.We are the Priests, of the Temples of SyrinxOur great computers fill the hallowed halls.We are the Priests, of the Temples of SyrinxAll the gifts of life are held within our walls.Look around this world we madeEquality our stock in tradeCome and join the Brotherhood of ManOh what a nice contented worldLet the banners be unfurledHold the Red Star proudly high in hand.We are the Priests, of the Temples of SyrinxOur great computers fill the hallowed halls.We are the Priests, of the Temples of SyrinxAll the gifts of life are held within our walls.III. Discovery... "Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was hidden beneaththe cave, I found it. I brushed away the dust of the years, and picked it up,holding it reverently in my hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it wasbeautiful" ...... "I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn the keys to makethem sound differently. As I struck the wires with my other hand, I producedmy first harmonious sounds, and soon my own music! How different it could befrom the music of the Temples! I can`t wait to tell the priests about it! ..."What can this strange device be?When I touch it, it gives forth a soundIt`s got wires that vibrate and give musicWhat can this thing be that I found?See how it sings like a sad heartAnd joyously screams out its painSounds that build high like a mountainOr notes that fall gently like rain.I can`t wait to share this new wonderThe people will all see its lightLet them all make their own musicThe Priests praise my name on this night.IV. Presentation... "In the sudden silence as I finished playing, I looked up to a circle ofgrim, expressionless faces. Father Brown rose to his feet, and his somnolentvoice echoed throughout the silent Temple Hall." ...... "Instead of the grateful joy that I expected, they were words of quietrejection! Instead of praise, sullen dismissal. I watched in shock and horroras Father Brown ground my precious instrument to splinters beneath his feet..."I know it`s most unusualTo come before you soBut I`ve found an ancient miracleI thought that you should knowListen to my musicAnd hear what it can doThere`s something here as strong as lifeI know that it will reach you.Yes, we know it`s nothing newIt`s just a waste of timeWe have no need for ancient waysThe world is doing fineAnother toy will help destroyThe elder race of manForget about your silly whimIt doesn`t fit the plan.I can`t believe you`re sayingThese things just can`t be trueOur world could use this beautyJust think what we might do.Listen to my musicAnd hear what it can doThere`s something here as strong as lifeI know that it will reach you.Don`t annoy us furtherWe have our work to do.Just think about the averageWhat use have they for you?Another toy will help destroyThe elder race of manForget about your silly whimIt doesn`t fit the plan.V. Oracle: The Dream... "I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so vivid to me. Clearlyyet I see the beckoning hand of the oracle as he stood at the summit of thestaircase" ...... "I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities and the purespirit of man revealed in the lives and works of this world. I was overwhelmedby both wonder and understanding as I saw a completely different way to life, away that had been crushed by the Federation long ago. I saw now howmeaningless life had become with the loss of all these things ..."I wandered home though the silent streetsAnd fell into a fitfull sleepEscape to realms beyond the nightDream can`t you show me the light?I stand atop a spiral stairAn oracle confronts me thereHe leads me on light years awayThrough astral nights, galactic daysI see the works of gifted handsThat grace this strange and wondrous landI see the hand of man ariseWith hungry mind and open eyesThey left the planet long agoThe elder race still learn and growTheir power grows with purpose strongTo claim the home where they belongOh, to tear the Temples down...Oh, to change..VI. Soliloquy... "I have not left this cave for days now, it has become my last refuge in mytotal despair. I have only the music of the waterfall to comfort me now. Ican no longer live under the control of the Federation, but there is no otherplace to go. My last hope is that with my death I may pass into the world ofmy dream, and know peace at last."The sleep is still in my eyesThe dream is still in my headI heave a sigh and sadly smileAnd lie a while in bedI wish that it might come to passNot fade like all my dreamsJust think of what my life might beIn a world like I have seenI don`t think I can carry onCarry on this cold and empty lifeOh...noo.My spirits are low in the depths of despairMy lifeblood spills over..VII. The Grand FinaleAttention all Planets of the Solar FederationAttention all Planets of the Solar FederationAttention all Planets of the Solar FederationWe have assumed control.We have assumed control.We have assumed control.
