Rush 2112 (Full Song)

LYRICS:I. Overture (0:00)And the meek shall inherit the earth...II. Temples of Syrinx (4:33)We’ve taken care of everythingThe words you read, the songs you singThe pictures that give pleasure to your 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 at this world we’ve 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 (6:47)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 (10:16)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 waysOur world is doing fineAnother toy that helped 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 further!We have our work to do.Just think about the averageWhat use have they for you?Another toy that helped destroyThe elder race of manForget about your silly whimIt doesn’t fit the plan!V. Oracle: The Dream (13:58)I wandered home though the silent streetsAnd fell into a fitful 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 our planets long agoThe elder race still learn and growTheir power grows with purpose strongTo claim the home where they belongHome to tear the Temples down...Home to change!VI. Soliloquy (15:58)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 dreams...Just think of what my life might beIn a world like I have seen!I don’t think I can carry onCarry on this cold and empty lifeMy spirits are low in the depths of despairMy lifeblood......spills over...VII.
