Текст песни War Of The Worlds - Jeff Wayne - The Artilleryman Returns

Next day the dawn was a brillint fiery red
and I wandered through the weird and lurid landscape
of another planet for the vegetation which gives Mars
itгзs red appearance had taken root on Earth
As man had succumbed to the Martians
So our land now succumbed to the red weed
Lyrics downloads from www.SuperLyrics.net
Where ever there was a stream the red weed clung and grew
with frightening voraciosness
Itгзs claw-like fronds choking the movement of the water
And than it starts to creep like a slimy red animal
across the land covering field and ditch and tree and hedgerow
with living scarlet feelers , crawling ! , crawling !
I suddenly noticed the body of parson lying on the ground
in a churchyard
I felt unable to leave him to the mercy of the red weed
And decided to bury him decently
Beth:
Nathaniel !
Nathaniel !
Journalist:
The parsons eyes flickered open , he was alive
Beth:
Nathaniel I saw the church burst into flame !
Are you alright !
Parson:
Donгзt tuch me !
Beth:
But itгзs me Beth your wife
Parson:
No youгзre one of them , a Devil !
Beth:
Heгзs Delirious !
Parson:
Lies !
I saw the Devilгзs sighn
Beth:
What have you seen ?
Parson:
The green flash in the sky
His demons where here all along
In our hearts and souls
Just waiting for a sign from him
And now they are destoying our world
Beth:
But theyгзre not devils theyгзre Martians
Journalist:
We must leave here
Beth:
Look ! A house still standing !
Come Nathaniel quickly
Journalist:
We took shelter in a cottage
and black smoke spread hemming us in
Then a fighting machine came across the fields
Spraying jets of steam that turned the black smoke
in to thick black dust
Martians:
ULLA !!
Beth:
Dear God
Help Us !
Parson:
The voice of the Devil is heard in our land
SPIRIT OF MAN
Parson:
#Listen do you hear them drawing near
in there search for the sinners
Feeding on the power of our fear
and the evil within us
Incarnation of satanгзs creation of all that weгзre dread
When the demons arived those alive would be better off dead !!
Beth:
#There must be something worth living for
There must be something worth trying for
Even something worth dying for
For if one man can stand tall
There must be hope for us all
Some where some where in the spirit of man
Parson:
#Once there was a time when I believed without hasitation
That the power of love and truth could conquer all
in name off salvation
Tell me what kind of weapon is love when it comes to a fight
And how much protection is truth against all Satanгзs might
Beth:
#There must be something worth living for
There must be somethig worth trying for
Even something worth dying for
If just one man can stand tall
There must 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:
Didnгзt I warn them that this would happen ?
Be on guard I said
For the evil wil never rest
I said excorsice the Devil
But no , they wouldnгзt listen
The demons inside are grew and grew
Until Satan gives his signal
And destroyed the World we knew
Beth:
#No Nathaniel , oh no Nathaniel
No Nathaniel no
There must be more to live
There has to be a way
That we can restore to life
The love that we used to know
Nathaniel No
There must be more to live
There has to be a way
That we can restore the life
The light that we have lost
#Now darkness has decended on our land
And all your prayers can not save us
Like fools we let the Devil take command
of the souls that God gave us
To the altar of evil like lambs to the slaughter weгзre led
When the demons arrive the survivors envy the dead
Beth:
#There must be something worth living for
Parson:
# No ! there is nothing
Beth
