No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century
That human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space
Across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours
Regarded this earth with envious eyes
No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century
That human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space
No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized
As someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water
Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets
And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours
Regarded this earth with envious eyes
And slowly and surely they drew their plans against us
And yet, across the gulf of space, and slowly and surely they drew theirs plans against us
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century
That human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space
