Overture / Prologue: In Every Age
In every age mankind attemps
To fabricate great works
At once magnificent
And impossible...
On desert sounds, from mountains of stone
A pyramid!
From flying buttresses alone
A wall of light!
A chapel ceiling
Screaming one man's ecstasy
One man's ecstasy...
Miracles them all!
China's endless wall...
Stonehenge, the Pathenon, the Duomo,
The aqueducts of Rome.
We did not attemp to make
With mommoth blocks of stone
A giant pyramid
No, not a pyramid...
Nor gothik walls that radiate with light...
Our task was to dream upon
And then create
A floating city!...
Floating city!...
A human metropolis...
A complete civilisation!
Sleek!
And fast!
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...
To fabricate great works
At once magnificent
And impossible...
On desert sounds, from mountains of stone
A pyramid!
From flying buttresses alone
A wall of light!
A chapel ceiling
Screaming one man's ecstasy
One man's ecstasy...
Miracles them all!
China's endless wall...
Stonehenge, the Pathenon, the Duomo,
The aqueducts of Rome.
We did not attemp to make
With mommoth blocks of stone
A giant pyramid
No, not a pyramid...
Nor gothik walls that radiate with light...
Our task was to dream upon
And then create
A floating city!...
Floating city!...
A human metropolis...
A complete civilisation!
Sleek!
And fast!
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...
