I. Overture (0:00)
And the meek shall inherit the earth...
II. Temples of Syrinx (4:33)
We've taken care of everything

The words you read, 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 at this world we've 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 (6:47)
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 (10:16)
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

Our world is doing fine

Another toy that helped 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 that helped destroy

The elder race of man

Forget about your silly whim

It doesn't fit the plan!
V. Oracle: The Dream (13:58)
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 our 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 (15:58)
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
My spirits are low in the depths of despair

My lifeblood...

...spills over...
VII. The Grand Finale (18:19)

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

The song 2112 was based on the novel The Fountain Head Published in 1943 written by Ayn Rand. It's a story about a man named Howard Roark, Architect. If you do read the book, it will certainly change your life forever. Ayn died in 1982.

The midnight hour is my time to relax with my nightly cup of leftover coffee. I check my blogs and lose another round of chess while new age music fills my head phones. no pipe at this time for I smoke severl bowls each day as I work outside.

Morning Guys, I've made a terrible mistake...

While watching "The Glimmer Man", during a commercial break...

I got a tall glass of ice cold milk and a brand new package of Almond Windmill cookies from the pantry...

I'm so weak... :crying:

:D

I just ordered some Lebkuchen and yummy treats from the German Deli. If you like German food you need to check them out. I have rediscovered so many memories from there.

Midway through a hot toddy. Feeling the day crumble away. Still cannot smoke a pipe. Maybe tomorrow if my sinuses act right. Got some Fusilier's Ration so maybe...
