Lyric

My name is Heraclitus!

Philosopher of Ephesus!

Everything is in flux!

Panta Rhei!

You can't step in the same river twice!

The water's not the same!

You change! I change! We all change!

Yesterday's you is dead and gone!

What's Panta Rhei, you ask?

It's Greek for "everything flows"!

Nothing ever stands still!

That's the whole damn point!

Day and night! Life and death!

Opposites collide and clash!

Harmony is born from conflict!

Strife is the father of all things!

Panta Rhei! Panta Rhei!

Everything is in flux!

Fire is the source of everything!

Fire is the archē!

Burn! Burn! Eternal fire!

Everything keeps changing form!

Like the flames that twist and dance!

Panta Rhei! Panta Rhei!

This world will never stand still!

I'll tell you how this world works!

One law rules it all! The Logos!

Now you wanna know what Logos is?

Don't you get it? It's Logos!

You don't know Logos? That's Logos!

You figure it out? That's Logos!

You learn it, then forget it?

That's Logos too! All of it!

That's Logos! This is Logos!

Yo! I said it's Logos!

Don't make me say it twice!

The order of all things!

The law behind it all!

The Logos runs through everything!

If you still don't get it!

Then you just don't get it!

I'm playing with kids inside the temple!

The townspeople start raising hell!

I'd rather play with these damn kids

Than deal with your stupid politics!

They call me a riddle-spouting freak!

History calls me the Dark Philosopher!

Too hard to understand? I don't give a damn!

I'm sick of all these clueless fools!

So I head for the hills alone!

Tried some crazy cure for dropsy!

A death worthy of a Darwin Award!?

And that's the crap they wrote about me!

Panta Rhei! Panta Rhei!

Everything is in flux!

Fire is the source of everything!

Fire is the archē!

Burn! Burn! Eternal fire!

Even my body changes form!

Panta Rhei! Panta Rhei!

The world keeps moving when I'm gone!

Do you get how this world works?

If not, then listen to the Logos!

My name is Heraclitus!

Got it now?

It's Logos!
