《Cygnus X-1 Book II Hemispheres》歌词

[00:00:03] Cygnus X-1 Book II Hemispheres - Rush

[00:02:59] When our weary world was young

[00:03:02] The struggle of the ancients first began

[00:03:06] The gods of love and reason

[00:03:09] Sought alone to rule the fate of man

[00:03:20] They battled through the ages

[00:03:23] But still neither force would yield

[00:03:27] The people were divided

[00:03:30] Every soul a battlefield

[00:03:33] Every soul a battlefield

[00:04:36] I bring truth and understanding

[00:04:39] I bring wit and wisdom fair

[00:04:42] Precious gifts beyond compare

[00:04:52] We can build a world of wonder

[00:04:55] I can make you all aware

[00:04:59] I will find you food and shelter

[00:05:02] Show you fire to keep you warm

[00:05:05] Through the endless winter storm

[00:05:16] You can live in grace and comfort

[00:05:19] In the world that you transform

[00:05:38] The people were delighted

[00:05:41] Coming forth to claim their prize

[00:05:46] They ran to build their cities

[00:05:49] And converse among the wise

[00:05:53] But one day the streets fell silent

[00:05:56] Yet they knew not what was wrong

[00:06:00] The urge to build these fine things

[00:06:03] Seemed not to be so strong

[00:06:07] The wise men were consulted

[00:06:10] And the Bridge of Death was crossed

[00:06:14] In quest of Dionysus

[00:06:18] To find out what they had lost

[00:07:06] I bring love to give you solace

[00:07:09] In the darkness of the night

[00:07:11] In the Heart's eternal light

[00:07:22] You need only trust your feelings

[00:07:25] Only love can steer you right

[00:07:29] I bring laughter I bring music

[00:07:32] I bring joy and I bring tears

[00:07:35] I will soothe your primal fears

[00:07:46] Throw off those chains of reason

[00:07:49] And your prison disappears

[00:08:08] The cities were abandoned

[00:08:11] And the forests echoed song

[00:08:16] They danced and lived as brothers

[00:08:19] They knew love could not be wrong

[00:08:23] Food and wine they had aplenty

[00:08:26] And they slept beneath the stars

[00:08:30] The people were contented

[00:08:33] And the gods watched from afar

[00:08:37] But the winter fell upon them

[00:08:40] And it caught them unprepared

[00:08:44] Bringing wolves and cold starvation

[00:08:48] And the hearts of men despaired

[00:09:53] The universe divided

[00:09:55] As the heart and mind collided

[00:09:57] With the people left unguided

[00:10:00] For so many troubled years

[00:10:02] In a cloud of doubts and fears

[00:10:04] Their world was torn asunder into hollow

[00:10:08] Hemispheres

[00:10:20] Some fought themselves some fought each other

[00:10:23] Most just followed one another

[00:10:25] Lost and aimless like their brothers

[00:10:27] For their hearts were so unclear

[00:10:29] And the truth could not appear

[00:10:31] Their spirits were divided into blinded

[00:10:35] Hemispheres

[00:10:56] Some who did not fight

[00:10:59] Brought tales of old to light

[00:11:04] My Rocinante sailed by night

[00:11:08] On her final flight

[00:11:12] To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome force

[00:11:16] We set our course

[00:11:21] Spiralled through that timeless space

[00:11:25] To this immortal place

[00:12:45] I have memory and awareness

[00:12:49] But I have no shape or form

[00:12:54] As a disembodied spirit

[00:12:58] I am dead and yet unborn

[00:13:04] I have passed into Olympus

[00:13:08] As was told in tales of old

[00:13:12] To the city of Immortals

[00:13:16] Marble white and purest gold

[00:14:06] I see the gods in battle rage on high

[00:14:14] Thunderbolts across the sky

[00:14:19] I cannot move I cannot hide

[00:14:25] I feel a silent scream begin inside

[00:14:36] Then all at once the chaos ceased

[00:14:39] A stillness fell a sudden peace

[00:14:42] The warriors felt my silent cry

[00:14:46] And stayed their struggle mystified

[00:14:53] Apollo was atonished

[00:14:55] Dionysus thought me mad

[00:15:00] But they heard my story further

[00:15:03] And they wondered and were sad

[00:15:08] Looking down from Olympus

[00:15:10] On a world of doubt and fear

[00:15:16] It's surface splintered

[00:15:17] Into sorry Hemispheres

[00:15:38] They sat a while in silence

[00:15:41] Then they turned at last to me

[00:15:45] We will call you Cygnus

[00:15:47] The god of Balance you shall be

[00:17:02] We can walk our road together

[00:17:08] If our goals are all the same

[00:17:14] We can run alone and free

[00:17:19] If we pursue a different aim

[00:17:25] Let the truth of love be lighted

[00:17:30] Let the love of truth shine clear

[00:17:35] Sensibility

[00:17:38] Armed with sense and liberty

[00:17:41] With the heart and mind united in a single

[00:17:48] Perfect

[00:17:50] Sphere
