[Verse 1] Down beneath the Aegean blue A shipwreck held a secret true Bronze and green with ocean's rust A mechanism lost to dust What machine could this have been? Ancient gears that none had seen [Chorus] X-ray vision sees inside Pattern recognition as our guide Reverse engineering shows the way Algorithms solve mysteries today Thirty-seven gears reveal An ancient computational wheel [Verse 2] Tomography scans slice by slice Creating images precise Three dimensions come to light Without taking it apart right Every gear and every wheel The hidden structure now revealed [Chorus] X-ray vision sees inside Pattern recognition as our guide Reverse engineering shows the way Algorithms solve mysteries today Thirty-seven gears reveal An ancient computational wheel [Verse 3] Simulation runs the gears Calculating through the years Eclipses, moon phases too Olympic games the Greeks once knew A computer made of bronze Two thousand years since it was spawned [Bridge] Sophistication lost in time Mathematical paradigm Fourteen centuries would pass Before such skill returned at last The mystery finally decoded Ancient wisdom now uploaded [Chorus] X-ray vision sees inside Pattern recognition as our guide Reverse engineering shows the way Algorithms solve mysteries today Thirty-seven gears reveal An ancient computational wheel [Outro] From the depths of mystery Algorithms set knowledge free Antikythera's secret told By the digital age of old
