Lyrics The Red Weed, Pt. 1 - Jeff Wayne feat. Liam Neeson

Next day, the dawn was a brilliant fiery red
And I wandered through the weird and lurid landscape
Of another planet
For the vegetation which gives Mars its red appearance
Had taken root on Earth

As Man had succumbed to the Martians
So our land now succumbed to the Red Weed
Wherever there was a stream
The Red Weed clung and grew with frightening voraciousness
Its claw-like fronds choking the movement of the water
And then it began to creep like a slimy red animal across the land
Covering field and ditch and tree and hedgerow
With living scarlet feelers
Crawling
Crawling
