Rush - V. Cygnus: Bringer of Balance (Cygnus X-1, Book II: Hemispheres): chords

        D
I have memory and awareness
       G
But I have no shape or form
      Em
As a disembodied spirit
      Bm
I am dead and yet unborn
        G
I have passed into Olympus
        D
As was told in tales of old
        A
To the city of Immortals
         D
Marble white and purest gold

A
I see the gods in battle rage on high
C
Thunderbolts across the sky
   F
I cannot move, I cannot hide
   E
I feel a silent scream begin inside

     D                 E
Then all at once the chaos ceased
A stillness fell, a sudden peace
The warriors felt my silent cry
And stayed their struggle, mystified

E             F#
Apollo was astonished
    D                A
Dionysus thought me mad
But they heard my story further
And they wondered and were sad

Looking down from Olympus
On a world of doubt and fear
Its surface splintered into
Sorry Hemispheres

      D              E
They sat a while in silence
Then they turned at last to me
 G                 Bm
"We will call you Cygnus
     F                       F#
The god of Balance you shall be"
