Furmi Gomez - Hypatia (The Poem) Lyrics

Hypatia
Strength in numbers
But the number is foe, killer, ruler
She ponyed up and rose above
The ones who pulled her down
Only to get her down
To numbers

Hypatia
Astronomy, philosophy, Alexandria, numbers
She beat the heat to keep wise
To the guys and the guise that
Was not to be defeated
Who roared and roamed in the name
Of a man they never knew

Hypatia
Saint Catherine, Alexandria, numbers
She loved the ones who took her down
In the name of a crown of thorns
And kept alive the Platonic minds
That looked to the stars to mourn
Numbers

Hypatia, Hypatia, Astronomy, Jealousy, Philosophy
Hypatia, Hypatia, Identity, Creativity, Femininity
Hypatia, Hypatia, we look to the stars
And Numbers
Hypatia, Hypatia
