[00:00:00] Overture / Prologue: In Every Age - Michael Cerveris

[00:00:01] Written by：Maury Yeston

[00:01:46] In every age mankind attemps

[00:01:48] To fabricate great works

[00:01:50] At once magnificent

[00:01:52] And impossible

[00:01:55] On desert sounds from mountains of stone

[00:01:58] A pyramid

[00:02:00] From flying buttresses alone

[00:02:03] A wall of light

[00:02:08] A chapel ceiling

[00:02:09] Screaming one man's ecstasy

[00:02:12] One man's ecstasy

[00:02:17] Miracles them all

[00:02:19] China's endless wall

[00:02:22] Stonehenge the pathenon the duomo

[00:02:27] The aqueducts of rome

[00:02:32] We did not attemp to make

[00:02:34] With mommoth blocks of stone

[00:02:36] A giant pyramid

[00:02:38] No not a pyramid

[00:02:41] Nor gothik walls that radiate with light

[00:02:47] Our task was to dream upon

[00:02:50] And then create

[00:02:52] A floating city

[00:02:57] Floating city

[00:03:04] A human metropolis

[00:03:06] A complete civilisation

[00:03:08] Sleek

[00:03:11] And fast

[00:03:13] At once a poem

[00:03:15] And the perfection

[00:03:16] Of physical engineering

[00:03:18] At once a poem

[00:03:20] And the perfection

[00:03:22] Of physical engineering
