Lyrics

0:32People：

0:55There were ships of shapes and sizes

0:58Scattered out along the bay

1:01And I thought I heard her calling

1:04As the steamer pulled away

1:07The invaders must have seen them

1:10As across the coast they filed

1:14Standing firm between them

1:18There lay Thunder Child

1:26Moving swiftly through the waters

1:29Cannons blazing as she came

1:32Brought a mighty metal war lord

1:35Crashing down in sheets of flame

1:38Sensing victory was nearing

1:41Thinking fortune must have smiled

1:45People started cheering

1:49Come on Thunder Child

1:52Come on Thunder Child

2:01Journalist：

2:02The Martians released their black smoke but the ship sped on cutting down one of the tripod figures

2:08Instantly the others raised their Heat Rays and melted the Thunder Child's valiant heart

3:17People：

3:17Lashing ropes and smashing timbers

3:20Flashing Heat Rays pierced the deck

3:24Dashing hopes for our deliverance

3:27As we watched the sinking wreck

3:30With the smoke of battle clearing

3:33Over graves in waves defiled

3:36Slowly disappearing

3:40Farewell Thunder Child

3:49Farewell Thunder Child

3:59Farewell Thunder Child

4:08Journalist：

4:14When the smoke cleared the little steamer had reached the misty horizon and Carrie was safe

4:21But the Thunder Child had vanished forever taking with her man's last hope of victory

4:26The leaden sky was lit by green flashes cylinder following cylinder and no one and nothing was left now to fight them

4:34The Earth belonged to the Martians

4:49Martians：

6:06Ulla

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：
