Sanctuary (part 2 Temple of Syrinx)

Sanctuary there is no other place to go. The Priests have extinguished all of what used to be from my beloved visions of my Muse. The Temples of the Federation are in every surviving city from the great war, only 13 coast to cast of this burnt up forsaken land once proud. My last hope is that with my death I may pass into the world of my dream where I know she waits for me to come, and know peace true at last.' '...I have not left this cave for days now, it has become my last refuge in my despair. I made the terrible mistake of taking my ancient find back to my sleeping chamber within the temple walls and the Priests of Syrinx found it, splintered it beneath their feet before my eyes and inprisoned me. I was able to escape and now I have only the music of the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no longer live under the control of the Federation, but For the first time I felt like a free man, no priests around to tell me what to see, hear or do. Can a man fall in love with a vision? For I am in heaven when the music plays She is my mistress and I am lost within her melody. She does things to me that the Priests say is unholy of man, yet it feels so good and while she awakens me shows me the way life once was, the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities and the pure spirit of man revealed in the lives and works of that world. I was overwhelmed by both wonder and understanding as I saw a completely different way of 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 wondrous musical things...' What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it gives forth a sound It's got wires that vibrate and give music What can this thing be that I found? See how it sings like a sad heart And joyously screams out its pain Sounds that build high like a mountain Or notes that fall gently like rain * And then she appeared before me, a beautiful vision, a spirit trapped within the ancient instrument and was awakened when I strummed it's cords. '...Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I brushed away the dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it reverently in my hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it was beautiful...' '...I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn the keys to make them sound differently. As I struck the wires with my other hand, I produced my first harmonious sounds and soon my own music! How different it could be from the music of the Temples 'I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon., Federation City 13. I sneak out of the temple sometimes to be alone and found my sanctuary in a hidden cave behind a waterfall at the base of the giant mountain that we call home. The grey tower of the Temple of Syrinx and sky become one, merging into a single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The moon just a pale orb as it traces it's way across the steely sky. I used to think I had a pretty good life here, just plugging into my machine for the day, then watching Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening. Then I found something that changed it all...' Music By: Rush Words mostly By: Rush - I modified them a little bit to make a better story, this is what I envisioned when I listened to the music way back in the day when he stroked that guitar!
