As Dr. Ellie whispers in in Contact; "No words to describe it" and in the Dark Crystal Jen's song is without words.
I think the lyrics are contained in the celestial music itself, and such music is contained in the silence. Silence or 0 is the holy grail of 100% compression, creatio ex nihilo. Perhaps you could find such a song in Pi in a lifelong quest, but it's a much deeper mystery that Pi and 0 are mysteriously related. Euler is rumoured to have remarked it to be proof of God's existence. But even if such proof exists it's of no value compared to it's beauty.
"After proving Euler's identity during a lecture, Benjamin Peirce, a noted American 19th-century philosopher, mathematician, and professor at Harvard University, stated that "it is absolutely paradoxical; we cannot understand it, and we don't know what it means, but we have proved it, and therefore we know it must be the truth." Stanford University mathematics professor Keith Devlin has said, "Like a Shakespearean sonnet that captures the very essence of love, or a painting that brings out the beauty of the human form that is far more than just skin deep, Euler's equation reaches down into the very depths of existence."
