[intro: lute riff alone, then electric guitar doubles it, drums in] [Praeco, shouted] Dic, Gai Sulpici! Dic, Marce Furi! [Nitidus, baritone, fast] Cinis, sebum, oleum! Naves meae in mari! Rem barbaram vocas? Barbarus lavat melius! [Severus, bass, faster] Septuaginta quattuor! Omnes ipse numeravi! Argentum exit, non redit! Numera! Numera! [Altercatio, call and response, no pause] Obicio! Dissentio! Erras! Non erro! Unam omisisti! Numera ipse! Numeravi! Iterum! [Chorus, both voices, still offset by half beat] Causa saponis! Causa saponis! Nemo videt, nemo audit! Causa saponis! [guitar solo over lyre ostinato] [Nitidus] Quis mihi numerabit? [Severus] Quis illud reducet? [Canon, half beat apart, do not align, tempo holds] Aqua calida est! Lapis ardet! Alter post alterum! Numquam simul! [Unison, one bar only, drums stop] Semel. [outro: lute riff alone, water underneath, fade]
