Текст песни The Artilleryman and the Fighting Machine - Jeff Wayne , David Essex , Richard Burton
The
hammering
from
the
pit
and
the
pounding
of
guns
grew
louder
My
fear
rose
at
the
sound
of
someone
creeping
into
the
house
Then
I
saw
it
was
a
young
artilleryman,
weary,
streaked
with
blood
and
dirt
Anyone
here?
Come
in.
Here,
drink
this
Thank
you
What's
happened?
They
wiped
us
out.
Hundreds
dead,
maybe
thousands
The
Heat
Ray?
The
Martians!
They
were
inside
the
hoods
of
machines
they'd
made,
massive
metal
things
on
legs!
Giant
machines
that
walked,
they
attacked
us!
They
wiped
us
out!
Machines?
Fighting
Machines!
Picking
up
men
and
bashing
'em
against
trees.
Just
hunks
of
metal
But
they
knew
exactly
what
they
were
doing
There
was
another
cylinder
came
last
night
Yes.
It
looked
bound
for
London
London!
Carrie!
I
hadn't
dreamed
there
could
be
danger
to
Carrie
and
her
father,
so
many
miles
away
I
must
go
to
London
at
once
And
me.
Got
to
report
to
Headquarters,
if
there's
anything
left
of
it
At
Byfleet
we
came
upon
an
Inn,
but
it
was
deserted
Is
everybody
dead?
Not
everybody.
Look!
Six
cannons
with
gunners
standing
by
Bows
and
arrows
against
the
lightning
They
haven't
seen
the
heat
ray
yet
We
hurried
along
the
road
to
Weybridge
Suddenly,
there
was
a
heavy
explosion
The
ground
heaved,
windows
shattered,
gusts
of
smoke
erupted
into
the
air
Look!
There
they
are!
What
did
I
tell
you?
Quickly,
one
after
the
other,
four
of
the
Fighting
Machines
appeared
Monstrous
tripods,
higher
than
the
tallest
steeple,
striding
over
the
pine
trees
and
smashing
them
Walking
engines
of
glittering
metal
Each
carried
a
huge
funnel
and
I
realized
with
horror
that
I'd
seen
this
awful
thing
before
A
fifth
Machine
appeared
on
the
far
bank
It
raised
itself
to
full
height,
flourished
the
funnel
high
in
the
air-and
the
ghostly,
terrible
Heat
Ray
struck
the
town
As
it
struck,
all
five
Fighting
Machines
exulted,
emitting
deafening
howls
which
roared
like
thunder
Ulla!
Ulla!
The
six
guns
we
had
seen,
now
fired
simultaneously,
decapitating
a
Fighting
Machine
The
Martian
inside
the
hood
was
slain
Splashed
to
the
four
winds
And
the
body,
nothing
now
but
an
intricate
device
of
metal
Went
whirling
to
destruction
As
the
other
Monsters
advanced,
people
ran
away
blindly
The
Artilleryman
among
them
But
I
jumped
into
the
water
and
hid
until
forced
up
to
breathe
Now
the
guns
spoke
again,
but
this
time
the
Heat
Ray
sent
them
to
oblivion
Ulla!
With
a
white
flash,
the
Heat
Ray
swept
across
the
river
Scalded,
half-blinded
and
agonized,
I
staggered
through
leaping,
hissing
water,
towards
the
shore
I
fell
helplessly,
in
full
sight
of
the
Martians,
expecting
nothing
but
death
The
foot
of
a
Fighting
Machine
came
down
close
to
my
head,
then
lifted
again
as
the
four
Martians
carried
away
the
debris
of
their
fallen
comrade
And
I
realized
that
by
a
miracle,
I
had
escaped
Ulla!
Ulla!
Ulla!
Ulla!
Ulla!
