Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In Galois land where fields extend
There's a secret bridge that won't bend
Take your group G and field L over K
Watch the magic unfold this way
Subgroups dancing with intermediate spaces
Perfect partners in mathematical places

[Chorus]
Flip the mirror, what goes up comes down
Bigger subgroups make smaller ground
H maps to L fixed by every hand
M maps back to Gal-land
Index equals order, size equals height
Two worlds spinning in opposite light

[Verse 2]
Start with subgroup H inside your G
Find the elements that won't move free
Sigma acts but leaves them still
L to the H is the fixed field's thrill
Count the automorphisms, count the degree
Extension index matches perfectly

[Chorus]
Flip the mirror, what goes up comes down
Bigger subgroups make smaller ground
H maps to L fixed by every hand
M maps back to Gal-land
Index equals order, size equals height
Two worlds spinning in opposite light

[Bridge]
When H sits normal in your G
Then L fixed over K runs free
Galois extension blooms like spring
Normal subgroups are everything
Field quotients match group quotients too
The correspondence pushes through

[Verse 3]
Intermediate field between K and L
Maps to automorphs that know it well
Fixing group preserves what matters most
Field and group are mirror hosts
Inclusion reverses, big becomes small
The fundamental truth connects them all

[Outro]
Group theory whispers field theory's name
Two different languages, one single game
Galois built the bridge between
The most beautiful math you've ever seen
