《The Spirit Of Man》歌词

[00:12:07] The Spirit Of Man - Jeff Wayne

[00:12:07] Listen, do you hear them drawing near

[00:12:07] In their search for the sinners?

[00:12:07] Feeding on the power of our fear

[00:12:07] And the evil within us?

[00:12:07] In carnation of Satan's creation

[00:12:07] Of all that we dread

[00:12:07] When the demons arrive

[00:12:07] Those alive will be better off dead

[00:12:07] There must be something worth living for

[00:12:07] There must be something worth trying for

[00:12:07] Even something worth dying for

[00:12:07] And if one man can stand tall

[00:12:07] There must be hope for us all

[00:12:07] Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man

[00:12:07] Once, there was a time

[00:12:07] When I believed without hesitation

[00:12:07] That the power of love

[00:12:07] And truth could conquer all

[00:12:07] In the name of salvation

[00:12:07] Tell me what kind of weapon is love

[00:12:07] When it comes to the fight?

[00:12:07] And just how much protection is truth

[00:12:07] Against all Satan's might?

[00:12:07] There must be something worth living for

[00:12:07] There must be something worth trying for

[00:12:07] Even some things worth dying for

[00:12:07] And if one man could stand tall

[00:12:07] There must be some hope for us all

[00:12:07] Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man

[00:12:07] People loved you and trusted you, came to you for help

[00:12:07] Didn't I warn them this would happen?

[00:12:07] Be on your guard, I said, for the Evil One never rests

[00:12:07] I said exorcise the devil

[00:12:07] But no, they wouldn't listen

[00:12:07] The demons inside them grew and grew

[00:12:07] Until Satan gave his signal

[00:12:07] And destroyed the world we knew

[00:12:07] No Nathaniel, oh no Nathaniel

[00:12:07] No Nathaniel, no, there must be more to life

[00:12:07] There has to be a way that we can

[00:12:07] Restore to life the love we used to know

[00:12:07] (No)

[00:12:07] Nathaniel, no, there must be more to life

[00:12:07] There has to be a way that we can

[00:12:07] Restore to life the light that we have lost

[00:12:07] Now darkness has descended on our land

[00:12:07] And all your prayers cannot save us

[00:12:07] Like fools we've let the devil take command

[00:12:07] Of the souls that God gave us

[00:12:07] To the altar of evil like lambs

[00:12:07] To the slaughter were led

[00:12:07] When the demons arrive

[00:12:07] The survivors will envy the dead

[00:12:07] There must be something worth living for

[00:12:07] No, there is nothing

[00:12:07] There must be something worth trying for

[00:12:07] I don't believe it's so

[00:12:07] Even something worth dying for

[00:12:07] If just one man could stand tall

[00:12:07] There would be some hope for us all

[00:12:07] Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man

[00:12:07] Forget about goodness and mercy, they're gone

[00:12:07] Didn't I warn them? Pray, I said, destroy the devil, I said

[00:12:07] They wouldn't listen, I could have saved the world

[00:12:07] But now it's too late, too late

[00:12:07] No Nathaniel, oh no Nathaniel

[00:12:07] No Nathaniel, no, there must be more to life

[00:12:07] There has to be a way that we can

[00:12:07] Restore to life the love we used to know

[00:12:07] (No)

[00:12:07] Nathaniel, no, there must be more to life

[00:12:07] There has to be a way that we can

[00:12:07] Restore to life the light that we have lost

[00:12:07] Dear God, a cylinder's landed on the house

[00:12:07] And we are underneath it, in the pit

[00:12:07] The Martians spent the night making a new machine

[00:12:07] It was a squat, metallic spider with huge, articulated claws

[00:12:07] But it, too had a hood in which a Martian sat

[00:12:07] I watched it pursuing some people across a field

[00:12:07] It caught them nimbly and tossed them

[00:12:07] Into a great metal basket upon its back

[00:12:07] Then, on the ninth day, we saw the Martians eating

[00:12:07] Inside the hood of their new machine they were drawing the fresh

[00:12:07] Living blood of men and women and injecting it into their own veins

[00:12:07] Aaah, it's a sign, I've been given a sign

[00:12:07] They must be cast out

[00:12:07] And I have been chosen to do it

[00:12:07] I must confront them now

[00:12:07] No, parson, no

[00:12:07] Those machines are just demons in another form

[00:12:07] I shall destroy them with my prayers

[00:12:07] I shall burn them with my holy cross, I shall

[00:12:07] The curious eye of a Martian appeared at the window slit

[00:12:07] And a menacing claw explored the room

[00:12:07] I dragged the parson down to the coal cellar

[00:12:07] I heard the Martian fumbling at the latch

[00:12:07] In the darkness I could see the claw touching things

[00:12:07] Walls, coal, wood and then, it touched my boot

[00:12:07] I almost shouted, for a time it was still

[00:12:07] And then, with a click, it gripped something

[00:12:07] The parson, with slow, deliberate movements

[00:12:07] His unconscious body was dragged away

[00:12:07] And there was nothing I could do to prevent it
