paroles de chanson The Eve of the War - Highlights Version - Gary Barlow , Jeff Wayne

No one would have believed.
That in the last years of the nineteenth century.
That human affairs were being watched by intelligences that inhabited the timeless whirls of space.
No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinised.
As someone with a microscope watches creatures sporn and multiple in a drop of water.
Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets.
And yet.
Across the gulf off space.
Minds unmeasurably superior too ours.
Regarded this earth with envious eyes.
And slowly.
And surely.
They drew there pons against us.
