The War of the Worlds movie - THUNDER CHILD lyrics

rate me

<br>

PEOPLE: There were ships of shapes and sizes<br>

Scattered out along the bay<br>

And I thought I heard her calling<br>

As the steamer pulled away<br>

The Invaders must have seen them<br>

As across the coast they filed<br>

Standing firm between them<br>

There lay Thunder Child<br>

<br>

Moving swiftly through the waters<br>

Cannons blazing as she came<br>

Brought a mighty metal War-Lord<br>

Crashing down in sheets of flame<br>

Sensing victory was nearing<br>

Thinking fortune must have smiled<br>

People started cheering<br>

'Come on Thunder Child'<br>

'Come on Thunder Child' <br>

<br>

JOURNALIST: The Martians released their Black Smoke, but the ship sped on, cutting<br>

down one of the tripod figures. Instantly, the others raised their Heat Rays and melted<br>

the Thunder Child's valiant heart. <br>

<br>

PEOPLE: Lashing ropes and smashing timbers<br>

Flashing Heat Rays pierced the deck<br>

Dashing hopes for our deliverance<br>

As we watched the sinking wreck<br>

With the smoke of battle clearing<br>

Over graves in waves defiled<br>

Slowly disappearing<br>

Farewell Thunder Child!<br>

Slowly disappearing<br>

Farewell Thunder Child!<br>

Farewell Thunder Child!<br>

Farewell Thunder Child! <br>

<br>

JOURNALIST: When the smoke cleared, the little steamer had reached the<br>

misty horizon, and Carrie was safe. But the Thunder Child had vanished forever,<br>

taking with her man's last hope of victory. The leaden sky was lit by green flashes,<br>

cylinder following cylinder, and no one and nothing was left now to fight them. The<br>

Earth belonged to the Martians.<br>

<br>

MARTIANS: Ulla! <br>
