Overture + Prologue In Every Age - Michael Cerveris

作词：Maury Yeston

作曲：Maury Yeston

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
