Rush
And the meek shall inherit the earthWe've taken care of everything, the words you hear, the songs you singThe pictures that give pleasure to your eyesIt's one for all and all for one, we work together, common sonsNever need to wonder how or whyWe are the priestsOf the temples of SyrinxOur great computersFill the hallowed hallsWe are the priestsOf the temples of SyrinxAll the gifts of lifeAre held within our wallsLook around at this world we've made, equality our stock in tradeCome and join the brotherhood of manOh, what a nice, contented world, let the banners be unfurledHold the red star proudly high in handWe are the priestsOf the temples of SyrinxOur great computersFill the hallowed hallsWe are the priestsOf the temples of SyrinxAll the gifts of lifeAre held within our wallsWhat 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've 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 rainI 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 nightI 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 youYes, we know, can't be 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 planI can't believe you're sayingThese things just can't be trueOur world could use this beautyJust think what we might doListen to my musicAnd hear what it can doThere's something here that's as strong as lifeI know that it will reach youDon't annoy us furtherOh, we have our work to doJust 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 planI 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 the planets long agoThe elder race still learn and growTheir power grows with purpose strongTo claim the home where they belongHome to tear the temples downHome to changeThe 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 life, oh noMy spirits are low in the depths of despairMy lifeblood spills overAttention all planets of the solar federationAttention all planets of the solar federationAttention all planets of the solar federationWe have assumed controlWe have assumed controlWe have assumed control
