Thunder Child

People：

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 war lord

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

Journalist：

The Martians released their black smoke but the ship sped on cutting down one of the tripod figures

Instantly the others raised their Heat Rays and melted the Thunder Child's valiant heart

People：

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

Farewell Thunder Child

Farewell Thunder Child

Journalist：

When the smoke cleared the little steamer had reached the misty horizon and Carrie was safe

But the Thunder Child had vanished forever taking with her man's last hope of victory

The leaden sky was lit by green flashes cylinder following cylinder and no one and nothing was left now to fight them

The Earth belonged to the Martians

Martians：
