2112: Overture / the Temples of Syrinx Songtext

von Jani Lane

I. Overture 0: 00

"And the meek shall inherit the earth."

II. Temples of Syrinx 4: 33

... "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
