Lyrics
Peter Hammill
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here be numbers transcendental,
On an imaginary axis spun,
Decimal places without limit
And zero and one.
Mathematics,
Simply pure beyond belief.
E to the power of i times pi plus one is zero
E to the power of i times pi plus one is zero
E to the power of i times pi is minus one
E to the power of i times pi is minus one
A single function, exponential,
Just one addition must be done...
Multiplication in completion
Of zero, of one.
Mathematics,
Just so "wow" it brooks belief.
(you'd better believe, you'd better believe it.)
