歌詞
[Verse 1]
"And the meek shall inherit the earth"
[Verse 2]
We've taken care of everything, the words you read and the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eye
It's one for all and all for one, we work together, common son
Never need to wonder how or why
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Look around 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
I know it's most unusual
To come before you so
But I've found an ancient miracle
I thought that you should know
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Chorus]
Another toy that helped destroy
The elder race of man
Forget about your silly whim
It doesn't fit the plan, no
[Verse 9]
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
[Chorus]
Listen to my music
And hear what it can do
There's something here that's as strong as life
I know that it will reach you
[Verse 10]
Don't annoy us further
Oh, we have our work to do
Just the think about the average
What use have they for you?
[Chorus]
Another toy that helped destroy
The elder race of man
Forget about your silly whim
It doesn't fit the plan
[Verse 11]
I wandered home through silent streets
And fell into a fitful sleep
Escape to realms beyond the night
Dream, can't you show me the light?
[Verse 12]
I stand atop a spiral stair
An oracle confronts me there
He leads me on light-years away
Through astral nights, galactic days
[Verse 13]
I see the works of gifted hands
That grace this strange and wondrous land
I see the hands of men arise
With hungry mind and open eyes
[Verse 14]
They left our planet long ago
The elder race still learn and grow
Their power grows with purpose strong
To claim the home where they belong
[Verse 15]
Home to tear the Temples down
Home to change—
[Verse 16]
The sleep is still in my eyes
The dream is still in my head
I heave a sigh and sadly smile
And lie awhile in bed
[Verse 17]
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
[Verse 18]
I don't think I can carry on
Carry on this cold and empty life, oh no
[Verse 19]
My spirits are low, in the depths of despair
My lifeblood
Spills over
[Outro]
Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
[Outro]
We have assumed control
We have assumed control
We have assumed control
