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

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
