V. Cygnus: Bringer Of Balance Lyrics - Rush

I have memory and awareness, 

But I have no shape or form. 

As a disembodied spirit, 

I am dead and yet unborn. 

I have passed into Olympus 

As was told in tales of old, 

To the city of Immortals, 

Marble white and purest gold. 

I see the gods in battle rage on high, 

Thunderbolts across the sky. 

I cannot move, I cannot hide, 

I feel a silent scream begin inside.

Then all at once the chaos ceased. 

A stillness fell, of sound and peace. 

The warriors felt my silent cry 

And stayed their struggle, mystified. 

Apollo was atonished; 

Dionysus thought me mad. 

But they heard my story further, 

And they wondered, and were sad. 

Looking down from Olympus 

On a world of doubt and fear, 

Its surface splintered 

Into sorry Hemispheres. 

Photos 

They sat a while in silence, 

Then they turned at last to me. 

"We will call you Cygnus, 

The god of Balance you shall be."
