[00:00:00] The Spirit Of Man(Max Mondo)-Jeff Wayne

[00:00:00] Journalist: I suddenly noticed the body of a parson, lying on the ground in a ruined churchyard. I felt unable to leave him to the mercy of the Red W**d and I decided to bury him decently.

[00:00:08] Beth: Nathaniel!Nathaniel!

[00:00:09] Journalist: The parson's eyes flickered open. He was alive!

[00:00:11] Beth: Nathaniel!I saw the church burst in to flame!Are you all right?

[00:00:13] Parson: Don't touch me!

[00:00:14] Beth: But it's me, Beth, your wife!

[00:00:17] Parson: No!You're one of them. A devil!

[00:00:19] Beth: (to Journalist)He's delirious

[00:00:20] Parson: Lies!I saw the devil's sign.

[00:00:21] Beth: What are you saying?

[00:00:21] Parson: The green flash in the sky. His demons were here all along, in our hearts and souls, just waiting for a sign from him. And now they're destroying our world.

[00:00:27] Beth: But they're not devils, they're Martians.

[00:00:28] Journalist: We must leave here

[00:00:29] Beth: Look!A house is still standing, come Nathaniel, quickly.

[00:00:32] Journalist: We took shelter in the cottage and black smoke spread, hemming us in. Then a fighting machine came across the fields spraying jets of steam that turned the smoke in to thick, black dust.

[00:00:39] Martians: Ulla!

[00:00:41] Beth: Dear God -help us!

[00:00:41] Parson: The voice of the devil is heard in our land!

[00:00:43] Parson: Listen, do you hear them drawing near

[00:00:46] In their search for the sinners?

[00:00:47] Feeding on the power of our fear

[00:00:48] And the evil within us.

[00:00:49] Incarnation of Satan's creation of all that we dread

[00:00:50] When the demons arrive

[00:00:51] Those alive would be better off dead!

[00:00:54] Beth: There must be something worth living for

[00:00:57] There must be something worth trying for

[00:01:01] Even some things worth dying for

[00:01:02] And if one man could stand tall

[00:01:05] There would be hope for us all

[00:01:10] Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man

[00:01:14] Parson: Once there was a time when I believed

[00:01:23] Without hesitation

[00:01:29] That the power of love and truth could conquer all

[00:01:30] In the name of salvation

[00:01:31] Tell me what kind of weapon is love when it comes to the fight?

[00:01:32] And just how much protection is truth against all Satan's might?

[00:01:34] Beth: There must be something worth living for

[00:01:35] There must be something worth trying for

[00:01:36] Even some things worth dying for

[00:01:37] And if one man could stand tall

[00:01:40] There would be some hope for us all

[00:01:42] Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man

[00:01:43] People loved you and trusted you, came to you for help.

[00:01:45] Parson: Didn't I warn them this would happen?

[00:01:46] Be on your guard I said

[00:01:47] For the evil one never rests

[00:01:48] I said exorcise the devil

[00:01:48] But no, they wouldn't listen

[00:01:54] The demons inside them grew and grew

[00:02:02] Until Satan gave his signal

[00:02:05] And destroyed the world we knew!

[00:02:10] Beth: No, Nathaniel,

[00:02:14] Oh no, Nathaniel

[00:02:19] No, Nathaniel, no

[00:02:23] There must be more to life

[00:02:29] There has to be a way

[00:02:29] That we can restore to life

[00:02:30] The love we used to know

[00:02:31] Nathaniel, no

[00:02:31] There must be more to life

[00:02:32] There has to be a way

[00:02:33] We can restore to life

[00:02:33] The light that we have lost

[00:02:34] Parson: Now darkness has descended on our land

[00:02:37] And all your prayers cannot save us

[00:02:39] Like fools we've let the devil take command

[00:02:40] Of the souls that God gave us.

[00:02:41] To the altar of evil like lambs to the slaughter we're led

[00:02:42] When the demons arrive, the survivors will envy the dead!

[00:02:44] Beth: There must be something worth living for.

[00:02:46] Parson: No, there is nothing!

[00:02:47] Beth: There must be something worth trying for.

[00:02:52] Parson: I don't believe it's so.

[00:02:54] Beth: Even some things worth dying for,

[00:02:58] And if one man could stand tall,

[00:03:02] There would be hope for us all,

[00:03:06] Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man.

[00:03:37] Parson: Forget about goodness and mercy, they're gone.

[00:03:39] Didn't I warn them...

[00:03:44] Pray I said

[00:03:44] Destroy the devil I said...

[00:03:46] They wouldn't listen

[00:03:46] I could have saved the world

[00:03:47] But now it's too late

[00:03:50] Too late!

[00:03:51] Beth: No, Nathaniel

[00:03:56] Oh no, Nathaniel

[00:04:00] No, Nathaniel, no

[00:04:03] There must be more to life

[00:04:07] There has to be a way

[00:04:10] That we can restore to life

[00:04:13] The love we used to know

[00:04:15] Nathaniel, no

[00:04:18] There must be more to life

[00:04:21] There has to be a way

[00:04:24] That we can restore to life

[00:04:27] The light that we have lost

[00:04:30] Parson: Dear God!A cylinder's landed on the house!And we're underneath it -in the pit!

[00:04:37] Journalist: The Martians spent the night making a new machine. It was a squat, metallic spider with huge, articulated claws. But it too had a hood in which a Martian sat. I watched it pursuing some people across a field. It caught them nimbly and tossed them in to a great metal basket upon its back.

[00:04:45] Parson: Beth!She's dead!Buried under the rubble!Why?Satan!Why did you take one of your own?

[00:04:47] There is a curse on Mankind,

[00:04:48] We may as well be resigned,

[00:04:50] To let the devil, the devil take the spirit of man.

[00:04:52] Journalist: As time passed in our dark and dusty prison, the parson wrestled endlessly with his doubts. His outcries invited death for us both -and yet I pitied him.
