Lyrics Thunder Child - Jeff Wayne , Chris Thompson , Richard Burton
PEOPLE:
There
were
ships
of
shapes
and
sizes
Scattered
out
along
the
bay
And
I
thought
I
heard
her
calling
As
the
steamer
pulled
away
The
Invaders
must
have
seen
them
As
across
the
coast
they
filed
Standing
firm
between
them
There
lay
Thunder
Child
Moving
swiftly
through
the
waters
Cannons
blazing
as
she
came
Brought
a
mighty
metal
War-Lord
Crashing
down
in
sheets
of
flame
Sensing
victory
was
nearing
Thinking
fortune
must
have
smiled
People
started
cheering
′Come
on
Thunder
Child'
′Come
on
Thunder
Child'
JOURNALIST:
The
Martians
released
their
Black
Smoke,
but
the
ship
sped
on,
cutting
Down
one
of
the
tripod
figures.
Instantly,
the
others
raised
their
Heat
Rays
and
melted
The
Thunder
Child's
valiant
aft.
PEOPLE:
Lashing
ropes
and
smashing
timbers
Flashing
Heat
Rays
pierced
the
deck
Dashing
hopes
for
our
deliverance
As
we
watched
the
sinking
wreck
With
the
smoke
of
battle
clearing
Over
graves
in
waves
defiled
Slowly
disappearing
Farewell
Thunder
Child!
Slowly
disappearing
Farewell
Thunder
Child!
Farewell
Thunder
Child!
Farewell
Thunder
Child!
JOURNALIST:
When
the
smoke
cleared,
the
little
steamer
had
reached
the
Misty
horizon,
and
Carrie
was
safe.
But
the
Thunder
Child
had
vanished
forever,
Taking
with
her
man′s
last
hope
of
victory.
The
leaden
sky
was
lit
by
green
flashes,
Cylinder
following
cylinder,
and
no
one
and
nothing
was
left
now
to
fight
them.
The
Earth
belonged
to
the
Martians.
