1
There were ships of shapes and sizes
2
Scatter out along the bay
3
And I thought I heard her calling
4
As the steamer pulled away
5
The Invaders must have seen them
6
As across the coast they filed
7
Standing firm between them
8
There lay Thunder Child
9
Moving swiftly through the waters
10
Cannons blazing as she came
11
Brought a might metal war-lord
12
Crashing down in sheets of flame
13
Sensing victory was nearing
14
Thinking fortune must have smiled
15
People started cheering
16
"Come on Thunder Child"
17
"Come on Thunder Child"
18
The Martians released their black smoke, but the ship sped on,
19
Cutting down one of the tripod figures
20
Instantly, the others raised their Heat Rays
21
And melted the Thunder Child's valiant heart
22
Lashing ropes and smashing timbers
23
Flashing Heat Rays pierced the deck
24
Dashing hopes for our deliverance
25
As we watched the sinking wreck
26
With the smoke of battle clearing
27
Over graves in waves defiled
28
Slowly disappearing
29
Farewell Thunder Child!
30
Slowly disappearing
31
Farewell Thunder Child! [Repeat x 2]
32
When the smoke had cleared, the little steamer had reached the misty horizon,
33
And Carrie was safe
34
But the Thunder Child had vanished forever,
35
Taking with her man's last hope of victory
36
The leaden sky was lit by green flashes, cylinder following cylinder,
37
And no one and nothing was left now to fight them
38
The Earth belong to the Martians.
39
Ulla!
