After the Fall II (Created, Many and Strange) Lyrics

The words came from a star we now lack the skill to see

But it lies in the constellation of Hydra

The words were strange beyond strange

And none could fathom any meaning in them

We knew the secrets of the Earth

We knew the secrets of the air and the water

We knew the secrets of the stars and the planets

We knew the invisible secrets of the Cell and the Atom

But none knew the secrets of Hydra

Now the one thing that can be relied upon when all wisdom fails

Is human behavior in the face of mystery

We blend what little we do know

With gods and monsters

Fashioned in our own image

Created, many and strange

And so with the words from Hydra

We did not know their meanings

Nor the nature of the beings that spoke them

We could only create them in our own image

And create them we did, many and strangeg

And create them we did, many and strange
