[Rush - 2112 - oracle: the dream live lyrics]
"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 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 the planet 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!
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 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 the planet 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!
