lyrics

Pythagoras At The Monochord

A reed flute can be heard
From the center of the pyramid.

We all can claim to hear
The word of God

But only the neophyte
Can hear the notes.

Religiosity and spirituality
Cannot be separated

And this is how I know.

The act of listening to music Is the act of listening to God

They say God created
The world and everything in it.

God created the beginning and
Ending of time.

God created all musical instruments
All forms of musical notation
God created all rhythms
God created all melodies

God created all songs themselves.

Don’t think for a moment
God doesn’t know your beginning
And ending.

To God the world began
And the world ended in an instant.

The intervals of your life
Have been divided equally

Along the single string
Between the two bridges
Of the monochord.
