- Michael Cerveris OverturePrologue: In Every Age 歌詞
- Michael Cerveris
- In every age mankind attempts
To fabricate great works
At once magnificent
And impossible
On desert sands 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 Parthenon the Duomo
The aqueducts of Rome
We did not attempt to make
With mammoth blocks of stone
A giant pyramid
No not a pyramid
Nor gothic walls that radiate with light
Our task was to dream upon
And then create
A floating city
Floating city
A human metropolis
A complete civilization
Sleek
And fast
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering
