"Hypatia" Lyrics

right in front of me
starry galaxy
every scene that's ever been

source of knowledge bliss
emanating disk
from the beam projects the dream

souls reflected long ago
have shaped the modern world we know
art - discoveries
philosophic seeds
still debating where it goes

books of science... plays performed upon the stage

from man's injustice few were saved...hey

roll the stone away
live another day
save the future from the past
of Alexandria
maid Hypatia now they say.
.. your life your works were burned in flames ....in vain!

she was a mathematician
a conic form magician..
taught in a male domain
when christians clashed with pagan thought came her tragic end
the last to work the library with esteem.
..oh to see her beauty then.... ah... ah!

astronomer... philosopher...did thoughts occur?... your precious words...
your life on earth... could... would... not... be... revoked in vain!
