Lyrics Thunder Child - Jeff Wayne
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
warlord
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!"
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
(Child,
Child,
Child,
Child)
Ulla!
