Eve Of The War
作詞:Jeff Wayne
On one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century That human affairs were been watched by the timeless worlds of space No one could have dreamed, we would be unscrutinized As someone with the microscope studies creatures That swarm and multiply in a drop of water
Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets And yet across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to us Regarded the Earth with envious eyes And slowly and surely they drew their plans against us
At midnight, on the 12th of August a huge mass of luminous gas Erupted from Mars and sped towards Earth Across two hundred million miles of void
Invisibly hurtling towards us came the first of the missiles That were to bring so much calamity to Earth As I watched, there was another jet of gas It was another missile, starting on its way
And that's how it was for the next ten nights A flare, spurting out from Mars, bright green Drawing a green mist behind it A beautiful but somehow disturbing sight
Ogilvy, the astronomer, assured me we were in no danger He was convinced there could be no living thing On that remote, forbidding planet
The chances of anything coming from Mars Are a million to one, he said The chances of anything coming from Mars 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 Are a million to one but still they come
Then came the night the first missile approached Earth It was thought to be an ordinary falling star But next day there was a huge crater in the middle of the common And Ogilvy came to examine what lay there
A cylinder, thirty yards across, glowing hot With faint sounds of movement coming from within Suddenly the top began moving, rotating, unscrewing
And Ogilvy feared there was a man inside trying to escape He rushed to the cylinder but the intense heat stopped him Before he could burn himself on the metal
The chances of anything coming from Mars Are a million to one, he said The chances of anything coming from Mars Are a million to one but still they come
Yes, the chances of anything coming from Mars Are a million to one, he said The chances of anything coming from Mars Are a million to one but still they come
It seems totally incredible to me now that Everyone spent that evening as though it was just like any other From the railway station in the sound of shunting trains Ringing and rumbling soften almost into melody by the distance
It all seemed so safe and tranquil
