lyrics
Movement # 1
Maqam Higaz-Kar On F# (F#, G, A≠, B, C#, D, E≠, F#) - Prestissimo (194 bpm)
Η τρέλα των σοφών είναι η σοφία του ανόητοι άνδρες, είναι ένα και το αυτό. Βλέπετε, σοφοί δεν γνωρίζουν
ότι είναι σοφός επειδή σοφούς νομίζουν ότι είναι ανόητοι. Το αντίστροφο είναι επίσης αλήθεια ως ανόητοι
άνδρες δεν νομίζω ότι είναι ανόητοι, διότι ανόητοι άνδρες ξέρουν ότι είναι σοφός. Αν υπάρχει ένας γρήγορος
τρόπος για να συνοψίσουμε αυτό θα ήταν ότι σοφούς και ανόητους σκέφτονται οι άντρες δεν κάνουν.
(The folly of wise-men is the wisdom of foolish-men, they are one and the same. You see, wise-men do not know
they are wise because wise-men think they are fools. The reverse of this is also true as foolish-men do not think they
are fools because foolish-men know they are wise. If there is a quick way to summarise this it would be that wisemen
think and foolish-men do not)
Movement # 2
Maqam Higaz-Kar On F# (F#, G, A≠, B, C#, D, E≠, F#) - Prestissimo (194 bpm)
Homines sapientes putant et stulti scient. (Wise-men think and fools know)
Homines sapientes non scient sapientes sunt, (Wise-men do not know they are wise)
et Homines stulti non putant stulti sunt, (Foolish-men do not think they are fools)
Quia homines sapientes putant et stulti scient. (Because wise-men think and fools know)
Homines sapientes putant stulti sunt, (Wise-men do think they are fools)
et Homines stulti scient sapientes sunt, (Foolish-men know they are wise)
Quia homines sapientes putant et stulti scient. (Because wise-men think and fools know)
Movement # 3
Maqam Higaz-Kar On F# (F#, G, A≠, B, C#, D, E≠, F#) - Presto (168 bpm)
I don’t think you understand, I don’t think you understand,
It’s been two and a half thousand years, Still I don’t think that you understand,
Wisdom ignored, true blasphemy, seeking knowledge, divinity,
Olympus bliss, does not exist, impiety, claimed heretic,
Burnt libraries, tomfoolery, beheaded men, gain martyrdom,
Entrails of priests, choking the kings, hemlock beverage, I’ll drink to this.
Movement # 4
Maqam Higaz-Kar On F# (F#, G, A≠, B, C#, D, E≠, F#) - Presto (168 bpm)
Caveat homines stulti. (Beware of fools)
