The steamer began to move slowly away - but on the landward horizon appeared the silhouette of a Fighting Machine. Another came, and another, striding over hills and trees, plunging far out to sea and blocking the exit of the steamer. Between them lay the silent, grey Ironclad 'Thunder Child'. Slowly it moved towards shore; then, with a deafening roar and whoosh of spray, it swung about and drove at full speed towards the waiting Martians.
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 ThunderChild
Moving swiftly through the waters
Canons blazing as she came
Brought a mighty metal warlord
Crashing down in sheets of flame
Sensing victory was nearing
Thinking fortune must have smiled
People started cheering
Come on Thunderchild
Come on Thunderchild
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 Thunderchild's valiant heart.
Lashing ropes and smashing timbers
Flashing heat rays pierce the deck
Dashing hopes for our deliverance
As we watch the sinking wreck
With the smoke of battle clearing
Over graves in waves defiled
Slowly disapearing
Farewell Thunderchild
Slowly disapearing
Farewell Thunderchild
Farewell Thunderchild
Farewell Thunderchild
When the smoke cleared, the little steamer had reached the misty horizon, and Carrie was safe. But the Thunderchild had vanished forever, taking with her Man's last hope of victory.
Edit:Btw Bonnie is doing just fine, she was really groggy until just an hour ago, and the vet said she will make a full recovery. I thought I had already updated about this, but I guess not.
Also this doesn't count as an annoying lyrics only entry, because it's so much more awesome than other musics. :P
