Bear McCreary
Antikythera Mechanism
[Verse 1]
You've come for the answer
The gears set to pave heaven's way
These skinned bones of Athens
Were the cogs to wash the old gods away
[Verse 2]
Some eighty-two fragments
My body dispersed by the sea
The clock of the cosmos
All was found and all is lost, here in me
[Verse 3]
Awash in the centuries
Anointed in salt and decay
Watched comets through fathoms
Like an astrolabe alone in the sway
[Guitar Solo: Omer Ben-Zvi]
[Verse 4]
So comе, curious children
Come find me, thе last of my kind
Through entropy's kindness
I reveal the wheels of this cosmic mind
