BestIKenster Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 2112 "I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon. City and sky become one, merging into a single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The Twin Moons, just two pale orbs as they trace their way across the steely sky. I used to think I had a pretty good life here, just plugging into my machine for the day, then watching Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening. "My friend Jon always said it was nicer here than under the atmospheric domes of the Outer Planets. We have had peace since 2062, when the surviving planets were banded together under the Red Star of the Solar Federation. The less fortunate gave us a few new moons. I believed what I was told. I thought it was a good life, I thought I was happy. Then I found something that changed it all..." Anonymous, 2112 I. Overture "And the meek shall inherit the earth." II. Temples of Syrinx ... "The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the heart of every Federation city. I have always been awed by them, to think that every single facet of every life is regulated and directed from within! Our books, our music, our work and play are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of the priests..." We've taken care of everything The words you hear the songs you sing The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes. It's one for all and all for one We work together common sons Never need to wonder how or why. We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx Our great computers fill the hallowed halls. We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx All the gifts of life are held within our walls. Look around this world we made Equality our stock in trade Come and join the Brotherhood of Man Oh what a nice contented world Let the banners be unfurled Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand. We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx Our great computers fill the hallowed halls. We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx All the gifts of life are held within our walls. III. Discovery ... "Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was hidden beneath the 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 was beautiful" ... ... "I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn the keys to make them sound differently. As I struck the wires with my other hand, I produced my first harmonious sounds, and soon my own music! How different it could be from 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 sound It's got wires that vibrate and give music What can this thing be that I found? See how it sings like a sad heart And joyously screams out its pain Sounds that build high like a mountain Or notes that fall gently like rain. I can't wait to share this new wonder The people will all see its light Let them all make their own music The Priests praise my name on this night. IV. Presentation ... "In the sudden silence as I finished playing, I looked up to a circle of grim, expressionless faces. Father Brown rose to his feet, and his somnolent voice echoed throughout the silent Temple Hall." ... ... "Instead of the grateful joy that I expected, they were words of quiet rejection! Instead of praise, sullen dismissal. I watched in shock and horror as Father Brown ground my precious instrument to splinters beneath his feet..." I know it's most unusual To come before you so But I've found an ancient miracle I thought that you should know Listen to my music And hear what it can do There's something here as strong as life I know that it will reach you. Yes, we know it's nothing new It's just a waste of time We have no need for ancient ways The world is doing fine Another toy will help destroy The elder race of man Forget about your silly whim It doesn't fit the plan. I can't believe you're saying These things just can't be true Our world could use this beauty Just think what we might do. Listen to my music And hear what it can do There's something here as strong as life I know that it will reach you. Don't annoy us further We have our work to do. Just think about the average What use have they for you? Another toy will help destroy The elder race of man Forget about your silly whim It 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. 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.. VI. Soliloquy ... "I have not left this cave for days now, it has become my last refuge in my total despair. I have only the music of the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no longer live under the control of the Federation, but there is no other place to go. My last hope is that with my death I may pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last." The sleep is still in my eyes The dream is still in my head I heave a sigh and sadly smile And lie a while in bed I wish that it might come to pass Not fade like all my dreams Just think of what my life might be In a world like I have seen I don't think I can carry on Carry on this cold and empty life Oh...noo. My spirits are low in the depths of despair My lifeblood spills over.. VII. The Grand Finale Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation We have assumed control. We have assumed control. We have assumed control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerxster Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Long distance run around long time waiting to feel the sound I still remember the dream there I still remember the time you said goodbye did we really tell lies letting in the sunshine did we really count to one hundred Cold summer listening hot colour melting the anger to stone I still remember the time you said goodbye did we really tell lies did we really count to one hundred looking for the sunshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaye Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 A few songs I particularly enjoyed today... First song of the day: Begin the day with a friendly voice, A companion unobtrusive Plays the song that's so elusive And the magic music makes your morning mood. Off on your way, hit the open road, There is magic at your fingers For the Spirit ever lingers, Undemanding contact in your happy solitude. Invisible airwaves crackle with life Bright antenna bristle with the energy Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free All this machinery making modern music Can still be open-hearted. Not so coldly charted, it's really just a question Of your honesty, yeah, your honesty. One likes to believe in the freedom of music, But glittering prizes and endless compromises Shatter the illusion of integrity. For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall, Concert hall And echoes with the sounds of salesmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaye Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 You ask me where to begin Am I so lost in my sin You ask me where did I fall I'll say I can't tell you when But if my spirit is lost How will I find what is near Don't question I'm not alone Somehow I'll find my way home My sun shall rise in the east So shall my heart be at peace And if you're asking me when I'll say it starts at the end You know your will to be free Is matched with love secretly And talk will alter your prayer Somehow you'll find you are there Your friend is close by your side And speaks in far ancient tongue A season's wish will come true All seasons begin with you One world we all come from One world we melt into one Just hold my hand and we're there Somehow we're going somewhere Somehow we're going somewhere You ask me where to begin Am I so lost in my sin You ask me where did I fall I'll say I can't tell you when But if my spirit is strong I know it can't be long No questions I'm not alone Somehow I'll find my way home Somehow I'll find my way home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaye Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 High on the sacred mountain Up the seven thousand stairs In the golden light of autumn There was magic in the air Clouds surrounded the summit The wind blew strong and cold Among the silent temples And the writing carved in gold Somewhere in my instincts The primitive took hold... I stood at the top of the mountain And China sang to me In the peaceful haze of harvest time A song of eternity -- If you raise your hands to heaven You will live a hundred years I stood there like a mystic Lost in the atmosphere The clouds were suddenly parted For a moment I could see The patterns of the landscape Reaching to the eastern sea I looked upon a presence Spanning forty centuries... I thought of time and distance The hardships of history I heard the hope and the hunger When China sang to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Who am I but you and the sun A sad reflection in everyone Was it me who let you walk away Were you the one Or is it we're the same What are we in time going by The simple story of a younger life Happy dreams and somehow through the day We havent come so far to lose our way Look at me, I believe it's true You're a part of me I'm a part of you Love is only what we come to knew The walking, breathing and all with you A crystal passing reflected in our eyes Eclipsing all the jealousy and lies Look at me, cant you see its true You're a part of me I'm a part of you Quiet as the voices in a dream Without two shadows the things I've seen Remember the evening I let you walk away Were you the one Or is it we're the same Look at me, I believe it's true You're a part of me I'm a part of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Goodbye, little Robin-Marie, Don't try, following me. Don't cry, little Robin-Marie, 'Cause you know, I'm coming home soon. My ship's, leaving on a three year tour, Next tide, will take us from shore. Wind-laced, gather in sail and spray, On a search, for the mighty sperm whale. Fly your willow branches, Wrap your body 'round my soul, Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets, There are years behind us reaching, To the place where hearts are beating, And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet. And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet. Starbuck's, sharpening his harpoon, Black man's, playin' his tune, An old salt's, sleeping his watch away, He'll be drunk again, before noon. Three years, sailing on bended knee, We found, no whales in the sea, Don't cry, little Robin-Marie, 'Cause we'll be, in sight of land soon. Fly your willow branches, Wrap your body 'round my soul, Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets, There are years behind us reaching, To the place where hearts are beating, And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet. And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestIKenster Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, 'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell' Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year, you can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget So I called up the Captain, 'Please bring me my wine' He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine' And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place Such a lovely face They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise, bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast The stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the place I was before 'Relax,'said the night man, We are programmed to receive.

Lerxster Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It went right by me- At the time it went over my head I was looking out the window I should have looked at your face instead It went right by me- Just another wall There should have been a moment When we let our barriers fall I never meant what you're thinking- That is not what I meant at all... Well I guess we all have these feelings We can't leave unreconciled Some of them burned on our ceilings Some of them learned as a child The things that we're concealing Will never let us grow Time will do its healing You've got to let it go Closed for my protection- Open to your scorn Between these two directions My heart is sometimes torn I lie awake with my secrets spinning around my head something that somehow escaped me- Something you shouldn't have said I was looking out the window I should have looked at your face instead... I find no absolution In my rational point of view Maybe some things are instinctive But there's one thing you could do You could try to understand me- I could try to understand you...

Lerxster Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Sing with me! There's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for Ooh ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven Ooh, it makes me wonder There's a feeling I get when I look to the west And my spirit is crying for leaving In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who standing looking Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, it really makes me wonder And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter Does anyone remember ? If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now It's just a spring clean for the May Queen Yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on And it makes me wonder Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know The piper's calling you to join him Dear lady can you hear the wind blow, and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How ev'rything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll And she's buying a stairway to heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I say hello again, And nobody gives a damn, And nobody wants to hold your hand, Evryone is an also-ran. Round and round we go, Where its going, nobody knows.

Lerxster Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 now you've got me in a yoko mood jaye Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price For throwing the dice in the air. Why must we learn it the hard way And play the game of life with your heart? I gave you my knife, You gave me my life Like a gush of wind in my hair. Why do we forget what's been said And play the game of life with our hearts? I may cry some day, But the tears will dry whichever way. And when our hearts return to ashes, It'll be just a story, It'll be just a story. Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai... Ooh-ahooh... "i knew a girl who tried to walk across the lake, 'course it was winter when all this was ice. That's a hell of a thing to do, you know. They say the lake is as big as the ocean.
