Lyrics The Ballad Of Copernicus - Fleurety

The Ballad Of Copernicus

Cold light of the sun
No thoughts for the children
Declared null and void
Collision of celestial bodies
Value of money is all
Mars, Saturn and the Earth
Buried on celebration day
Tomb neglected and forgotten
Face routinely reconstructed
Attributed in retrospect
Vile smirk of the aristocrat
Debut of violent death
Observe, record, repeat
Bleak faces of the moon
Magister pistoriae
Observational activity
Instruments of scince
Mars, Mercury and Neptune
Revolving in perfect circles
Parallax not observed
Seemingly reverse in direction
Orbital radius
Retrograde motion
Heretical models
Elements of wrath
Debut of violent death
Observe, record, repeat
Round and round and round
And round and round and round
The black dome of night
Stargazer’s delight
Motions in longitude
Motions in latitude
Careful and expert study
Severe measures
Refuted and disputed
Hypothetical constructs
Cold light of the sun
Bleak faces of the moon
Debut of violent death
Observe, record, repeat
Round and round and round
And round and round and round
Round and round and round
And round and round and round
