Lyrics The Red Weed, Pt. 2 - Jeff Wayne , Richard Burton
Then,
on
the
ninth
day,
we
saw
the
Martians
eating
Inside
the
hood
of
their
new
machine
They
were
draining
the
fresh
living
blood
of
men
and
women
And
injecting
it
into
their
own
veins
Argh!
It's
a
sign!
I've
been
given
a
sign
They
must
be
cast
out
And
I
have
been
chosen
to
do
it
I
must
confront
them
now
No
Parson,
No!
Those
machines
are
just
demons
in
another
form
I
shall
destroy
them
with
my
prayers
I
shall
burn
them
with
my
holy
cross
I
shall
The
curious
eye
of
a
Martian
appeared
at
the
window
slit
And
a
menacing
claw
explored
the
room
I
dragged
the
parson
down
to
the
coal
cellar
I
heard
the
Martian
fumbling
at
the
latch
In
the
darkness
I
could
see
the
claw
touching
things;
walls,
coal,
wood
And
then,
it
touched
my
boot.
I
almost
shouted
For
a
time
it
was
still,
and
then,
with
a
click,
it
gripped
something
The
parson!
With
slow,
deliberate
movements
His
unconscious
body
was
dragged
away
And
there
was
nothing
I
could
do
to
prevent
it!
I
crept
to
the
blocked
window
slit
and
peered
through
the
creeper
The
Martians,
and
all
their
machinery,
had
gone!
Trembling,
I
dug
my
way
out
and
clambered
to
the
top
of
the
mound
Not
a
Martian
in
sight!
The
day
seemed
dazzling
bright
after
my
imprisonment
and
the
sky
a
glowing
blue
Red
Weed
covered
every
scrap
of
ground
but
a
gentle
breeze
kept
it
swaying
And
oh,
the
sweetness
of
the
air
