Marco Di Noia - Leonardo's Last Flight Lyrics

I've offended God
I've offended mankind
That's because my work
Didn't satisfy me
Leonardo said that
Just before he left this world

Yes nobody can
Get the end of cosmos
There's no heroes who
Can resist the sun's heat
When we fly to it closer
Our Icarus will burn

And Leonardo didn't find the slightest meaning
Of the human frailty

History will claim us or we'll be forsaken
By the way it doesn't matter when the lights switch off

Yes nobody can
Figure out this riddle
Is this flight deserved
If we're doomed to crash down

Standing in the hard storm
Flapping our wings upwind

Every piece of knowledge is going to be forever lost into the universe
Moral law and science, war, religion and love
Everything will fade away with just a ring of smoke

But the Reneissance spirit still flies like a swallow while the centuries go by

"Volano gli uomini, là come libellule, là contro la gravità"
