  • i. overture
    Words and music by geddy lee, alex lifeson, and neil peart
    "and the meek shall inherit the earth."
    Ii. the temples of syrinx
    Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
    ... "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
    Words by neil peart, music by alex lifeson
    ... "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
    Words by neil peart, music by alex lifeson
    ... "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
    Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
    ... "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 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 planets 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
    Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
    ... "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. grand finale
    Music by geddy lee, alex lifeson, and neil peart
    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.
