paroles de chanson The Spirit of Man (2007 mix) - Jeff Wayne
[Journalist:]
I
suddenly
noticed
the
body
of
a
parson,
lying
on
the
ground
in
a
ruined
churchyard.
I
felt
unable
to
leave
him
to
the
mercy
of
the
Red
Weed
and
I
decided
to
bury
him
decently.
[Beth:]
Nathaniel!
Nathaniel!
[Journalist:]
The
parson's
eyes
flickered
open.
He
was
alive!
[Beth:]
Nathaniel!
I
saw
the
church
burst
in
to
flame!
Are
you
all
right?
[Parson:]
Don't
touch
me!
[Beth:]
But
it's
me,
Beth,
your
wife!
[Parson:]
No!
You're
one
of
them.
A
devil!
[Beth:]
(to
Journalist)
He's
delirious
[Parson:]
Lies!
I
saw
the
devil's
sign.
[Beth:]
What
are
you
saying?
[Parson:]
The
green
flash
in
the
sky.
His
demons
were
here
all
along,
in
our
hearts
and
souls,
just
waiting
for
a
sign
from
him.
And
now
they're
destroying
our
world.
[Beth:]
But
they're
not
devils,
they're
Martians.
[Journalist:]
We
must
leave
here
[Beth:]
Look!
A
house
is
still
standing,
come
Nathaniel,
quickly.
[Journalist:]
We
took
shelter
in
the
cottage
and
black
smoke
spread,
hemming
us
in.
Then
a
fighting
machine
came
across
the
fields
spraying
jets
of
steam
that
turned
the
smoke
in
to
thick,
black
dust.
[Martians:]
Ulla!
[Beth:]
Dear
God
- help
us!
[Parson:]
The
voice
of
the
devil
is
heard
in
our
land!
[Parson:]
Listen,
do
you
hear
them
drawing
near
In
their
search
for
the
sinners?
Feeding
on
the
power
of
our
fear
And
the
evil
within
us.
Incarnation
of
Satan's
creation
of
all
that
we
dread
When
the
demons
arrive
Those
alive
would
be
better
off
dead!
[Beth:]
There
must
be
something
worth
living
for
There
must
be
something
worth
trying
for
Even
some
things
worth
dying
for
And
if
one
man
could
stand
tall
There
would
be
hope
for
us
all
Somewhere,
somewhere
in
the
spirit
of
man
[Parson:]
Once
there
was
a
time
when
I
believed
Without
hesitation
That
the
power
of
love
and
truth
could
conquer
all
In
the
name
of
salvation
Tell
me
what
kind
of
weapon
is
love
when
it
comes
to
the
fight?
And
just
how
much
protection
is
truth
against
all
Satan's
might?
[Beth:]
There
must
be
something
worth
living
for
There
must
be
something
worth
trying
for
Even
some
things
worth
dying
for
And
if
one
man
could
stand
tall
There
would
be
some
hope
for
us
all
Somewhere,
somewhere
in
the
spirit
of
man
People
loved
you
and
trusted
you,
came
to
you
for
help.
[Parson:]
Didn't
I
warn
them
this
would
happen?
Be
on
your
guard
I
said
For
the
evil
one
never
rests
I
said
exorcise
the
devil
But
no,
they
wouldn't
listen
The
demons
inside
them
grew
and
grew
Until
Satan
gave
his
signal
And
destroyed
the
world
we
knew!
[Beth:]
No,
Nathaniel,
Oh
no,
Nathaniel
No,
Nathaniel,
no
There
must
be
more
to
life
There
has
to
be
a
way
That
we
can
restore
to
life
The
love
we
used
to
know
Nathaniel,
no
There
must
be
more
to
life
There
has
to
be
a
way
We
can
restore
to
life
The
light
that
we
have
lost
[Parson:]
Now
darkness
has
descended
on
our
land
And
all
your
prayers
cannot
save
us
Like
fools
we've
let
the
devil
take
command
Of
the
souls
that
God
gave
us.
To
the
altar
of
evil
like
lambs
to
the
slaughter
we're
led
When
the
demons
arrive,
the
survivors
will
envy
the
dead!
[Beth:]
There
must
be
something
worth
living
for.
[Parson:]
No,
there
is
nothing!
[Beth:]
There
must
be
something
worth
trying
for.
[Parson:]
I
don't
believe
it's
so.
[Beth:]
Even
some
things
worth
dying
for,
And
if
one
man
could
stand
tall,
There
would
be
hope
for
us
all,
Somewhere,
somewhere
in
the
spirit
of
man.
[Parson:]
Forget
about
goodness
and
mercy,
they're
gone.
Didn't
I
warn
them...
Pray
I
said
Destroy
the
devil
I
said...
They
wouldn't
listen
I
could
have
saved
the
world
But
now
it's
too
late
Too
late!
[Beth:]
No,
Nathaniel
Oh
no,
Nathaniel
No,
Nathaniel,
no
There
must
be
more
to
life
There
has
to
be
a
way
That
we
can
restore
to
life
The
love
we
used
to
know
Nathaniel,
no
There
must
be
more
to
life
There
has
to
be
a
way
That
we
can
restore
to
life
The
light
that
we
have
lost
[Parson:]
Dear
God!
A
cylinder's
landed
on
the
house!
And
we're
underneath
it
- in
the
pit!
[Journalist:]
The
Martians
spent
the
night
making
a
new
machine.
It
was
a
squat,
metallic
spider
with
huge,
articulated
claws.
But
it
too
had
a
hood
in
which
a
Martian
sat.
I
watched
it
pursuing
some
people
across
a
field.
It
caught
them
nimbly
and
tossed
them
in
to
a
great
metal
basket
upon
its
back.
[Parson:]
Beth!
She's
dead!
Buried
under
the
rubble!
Why?
Satan!
Why
did
you
take
one
of
your
own?
There
is
a
curse
on
Mankind,
We
may
as
well
be
resigned,
To
let
the
devil,
the
devil
take
the
spirit
of
man.
[Journalist:]
As
time
passed
in
our
dark
and
dusty
prison,
the
parson
wrestled
endlessly
with
his
doubts.
His
outcries
invited
death
for
us
both
- and
yet
I
pitied
him.
