When angels and demons and crystal spheres

Where imagined to be up there

When the sun revolved around the earth

And when the planets where assigned to our birth

We thought us special, we thought us unique

We thought the world was for us to keep

Fear and violence kept out morals high

But the only thing we did was letting the truth hide

The fire, the water, the earth and air

Was studied and made the wise men despair

In our arrogance we thought us as privileged beings

But the great demotion showed us how insignificant we are in the world of science

The angels and demons

Has no part in the voice of reason

Crystal spheres and planetary icons

Will no longer be a part of life songs

In island universe of billions of suns

Our little planet is as unimportant as anyone

In faith and religion we put our trust

But in fact we nothing more that some simple stardust

The fire, the water, the earth and air

Was studied and made the wise men despair

In our arrogance we thought us as privileged beings

But the great demotion showed us how insignificant we are in the world of science
