[00:00.000]The Song Of Eternal Numbers - Angelo Branduardi
[00:26.950]Come here my angel and sit on my knee
[00:30.334]And tell me what song you would hear from me
[00:33.434]"Sing me the song of eternal numbers
[00:37.051]And from this day I shall well remember"
[00:40.245]One is for the reaper
[00:43.387]Waiting for his harvest of life
[00:49.979]Two is for the oxen straining at the cart
[00:53.183]Three is for the world and its every part
[00:56.415]Four there are the standing stones of Merlin
[00:59.739]Where the hero's swords were ever sharpened
[01:03.343]One is for the reaper
[01:06.499]Waiting for his harvest of life
[01:10.405]And the sum of the golden times
[01:13.081]In all ages of man is five
[01:16.168]Sang the dwarf in a cloud of steam
[01:19.122]Threw six herbs in the draught
[01:20.670]Which he stirred
[01:21.229]And he laughed
[01:22.861]He went "ha ha ha ha ha ha "
[01:38.555]And there are seven suns and
[01:40.423]There are seven moons
[01:41.722]Eight the blazing fires by the first of June
[01:45.030]Nine is for the maidens dancing
[01:47.282]Round the fountain
[01:48.131]Worshipping the moon rising on the mountain
[01:51.814]One is for the reaper
[01:55.030]Waiting for his harvest of life
[02:01.470]Ten is for the galleons coming from the war
[02:04.696]Which our young men fought
[02:06.182]On a distant shore
[02:08.078]And walking with their flag
[02:09.406]We counted eleven
[02:11.193]All that now remain of
[02:12.807]A hundred young men
[02:14.775]One is for the reaper
[02:17.847]Waiting for his harvest of life
[02:21.724]And the sum of the golden times
[02:24.422]In all the ages of man is five
[02:27.583]And the months of the year are twelve
[02:30.439]Made of days made of hours
[02:31.784]And minutes that pass
[02:34.218]And they pass and they pass they pass
[02:49.687]Now twelve is for the signs
[02:51.251]In the starbright sky
[02:52.850]In envy of his neighbour
[02:54.366]Challenge and defy
[02:56.118]I sing you the song of eternal numbers
[02:59.540]But I see a time when all is ended
[03:02.753]One is for the reaper
[03:05.849]Waiting for his harvest of life
[03:12.489]There will come a day
[03:13.715]When the trumpet splits the sky
[03:15.701]And thunder fire and wind
[03:17.061]Will lay waste the low and high;
[03:18.933]That will be the time in the song of numbers
[03:22.385]When the reaper tires at last of waiting
[03:25.740]One is for the reaper
[03:27.456]And two the oxen and three the parts
[03:30.145]And four is for the stones
[03:32.023]Five is for the ages six is for the herbs
[03:35.225]And seven are the suns
[03:36.773]And seven are the moons eight is for the fires
[03:40.314]Nine is for the maidens
[03:41.900]Ten is for the galleons
[03:43.564]Eleven for the young men
[03:45.228]Twelve is for the signs
[03:46.628]And twelve for time a'passing
[03:48.528]One is for the reaper who laughs
[03:51.972]As one by one the stars blink out
