《Horsell Common And The Heat Ray》歌词

[00:12:15] Horsell Common And The Heat Ray - Jeff Wayne

[00:12:15] Next morning, a crowd gathered on the Common

[00:12:15] Hypnotized by the unscrewing of the cylinder

[00:12:15] Two feet of shining screw projected

[00:12:15] When, suddenly the lid fell off

[00:12:15] Two luminous, disc like eyes

[00:12:15] Appeared above the rim

[00:12:15] A huge, rounded bulk, larger than a bear

[00:12:15] Rose up slowly, glistening like wet leather

[00:12:15] It's lip less mouth quivered

[00:12:15] And snake like tentacles writhed

[00:12:15] As the clumsy body heaved and pulsated

[00:12:15] A few young men crept closer to the pit

[00:12:15] A tall funnel rose, then an invisible ray

[00:12:15] Of heat leapt from man to man

[00:12:15] And there was a bright glare

[00:12:15] As each was instantly turned to to fire

[00:12:15] Every tree and bush

[00:12:15] Became a mass of flames

[00:12:15] At the touch of this savage

[00:12:15] Unearthly Heat Ray

[00:12:15] People clawed their way

[00:12:15] Off the Common and I ran too

[00:12:15] I felt I was being toyed with that

[00:12:15] When I was on the very verge of safety

[00:12:15] This mysterious death would leap after me

[00:12:15] And strike me down

[00:12:15] At last I reached Maybury Hill

[00:12:15] And in the dim coolness of my home

[00:12:15] I wrote an account for my newspaper

[00:12:15] Before I sank into a restless, haunted sleep

[00:12:15] I awoke to alien sounds

[00:12:15] Of hammering from the pit

[00:12:15] And hurried to the railway station

[00:12:15] To buy the paper

[00:12:15] Around me, the daily routine

[00:12:15] Of life working, eating, sleeping

[00:12:15] Was continuing serenely

[00:12:15] As it had for countless years

[00:12:15] On Horsell Common, the Martians

[00:12:15] Continued hammering and stirring

[00:12:15] Sleepless, indefatigable at work

[00:12:15] Upon the machines they were making

[00:12:15] Now and again a light, like the beam

[00:12:15] Of a warship's searchlight

[00:12:15] Swept the Common

[00:12:15] And the Heat Ray was ready to follow

[00:12:15] In the afternoon, a company of soldiers

[00:12:15] Came through and deployed along the edge

[00:12:15] Of the Common, to form a cordon

[00:12:15] That evening, there was a violent crash

[00:12:15] And I realized with horror

[00:12:15] That my home was now within range

[00:12:15] Of the Martian's Heat Ray

[00:12:15] At down, a falling star

[00:12:15] With a trail of green mist landed

[00:12:15] With a flash like summer lightning

[00:12:15] This was the second cylinder
