2112 Rush 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 it's 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 it's 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. We have assumed control.
