Galileo - Forbidden Lyrics

2024 world premiere
Galileo the Musical - Forbidden Lyrics

SENIOR CARDINALS:
He's an enemy, to the human race
Only heretics
Change the shape of space
In God's firmament
Stars are permanent
And the Bible condemns his lies as
Forbidden
Forbidden

The Earth is blessed
By God's fair hand
We're the centre of life
That's what he planned
How dare he dredge
Us to the edge
Such thinking is clearly quite
Forbidden
Forbidden

Our reasoning is very clear
The madman's thoughts
Will cost him dear
We can safely decide
That God's on our side
And that all of his theories
Are quite
Forbidden
Forbidden

CARDINAL LEONARDO:
What is it that we really have to fear?
Of one man who simply
Doesn't praise our Lord?

CARDINAL GIOVANNI:
But he's a man of some authority
Not just a heathen rebel in the street
Oh the Protestants will love this story...

CARDINAL LEONARDO:
How one man could
Take away our glory!

POPE URBAN VIII:
Have patience, gentlemen
The war is not yet won!

Galileo the Musical Lyrics

In the Night
Forbidden
We Only Want to Know
Doin' the Maths
The Man with His Head in the Stars
Science Impossible
Push Back the Frontiers
Heaven Needs Me
Never Give Up
Pictures in My Head
The Magic Tube
New Age
Verdict Compromise
1633: The Trial
You Had It All
A Life in Flames
Cosimo's Surprise
