Iron Mask - Galileo lyrics

Galileo Galilei was his name He was born in the renaissance A stargazer soul with an open mind A lifetime staring at the skies Watching Jupiter and its moons, The heavens have no secrets for him. He revealed the Earth was not the center In God's cosmic design Galileo, forgotten genius locked in a cell Galileo, prisoner of Rome, he lived in hell Galileo, they tried so hard to tame his mind Galileo, one day the world will see he's right In Pisa, on the tower He proved his science and theories The law of the pendulum made his fame Then he built his own mighty telescope And told us the truth about the solar system But he died as a heretic Blind and sick, the books he wrote stupidly banned Galileo, forgotten genius locked in a cell Galileo, prisoner of Rome, he lived in hell Galileo, they tried so hard to tame his mind Galileo, one day the world will see he's right
