Lyrics:

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

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, they drew their plans against us
