lyrics

HERMETO by RAVI

1
take a note & split the sound

as a prism splits the light into a rainbow of colours and tones

send a sound, to a distant shore

as the light skips sweetly, over the ocean at dawn

bridge
& with these wings of the voice there are skies to explore
landscapes of space,

& with these wings of the heart, pure expression comes forth
oceans of sound, going around


2
pythagoras said that you cant sing a minor in an overtone

& if you can split an atom, then you can split a note & make an overtone

bridge
from the smallest atom to the distant star
you can reach it all with the colours of tone

as the voice gives wings to fly in light
sing and split the note, into a rainbow tone

turn around
2 tones from the same source
2 tones from the same voice
