lyrics

Free to roam, but can’t escape; effects of gravity
The nucleus, electron clouds; construct reality
Particulates compound, before your eyes

Focused light, take in the sights; observed complexity
Watch shifting moons, the clouds arise; untamed variety
New calculations showed, the scriptures lied

[But] there’s danger when you seek the truth with gathered facts from cosmic views
And yet it moves, this rock, our home; best hold your tongue when trapped in Rome
Such narrow minds controlling fate; denouncing words, the purest hate

It’s sadly true, one man’s demise; convicted heresy
On house arrest, until he died; moral catastrophe
Geocentric can’t be fact, his claims were right

[But] there’s danger when you seek the truth with gathered facts from cosmic views
And yet it moves, this rock, our home; best hold your tongue when trapped in Rome
Such narrow minds controlling fate; denouncing words, the purest hate

Focused light, take in the sights; observed complexity
Watch shifting moons, the clouds arise; untamed variety
It’s sadly true, one man’s demise; convicted heresy
