Chris Tompson – Thunderchild lyrics

spoken: The Martians yell "ULLA"
And Fighting machines appear far out to sea and waiting for the steamer
With a roar the warship "Thunder Child" races towards them

(THUNDER CHILD)

There were ships of shapes and sizes
Scatterd out along the bay
And I thought I heard her calling
As the steamer pulls away
The invaders must have seen them
As across the coast they filed
Standing firm between them
There lay Thunder Child

Moving swiftly through te waters
Cannons blazing as the came
Brought a mighty metal War-Loard
Crashing down in sheets of flame

Sensing victory was nearing
Thinking fortune must have smiled
People started cheering
COME ON THUNDER CHILD (2X)

Lashing ropen and smashing timbers
flashins Heat-Ray hits the deck
Dashing hopes for our deliverance
As we watched the sinking wreck
With the smoke of battle clearing
Over graves in waves defiled
Slowly disappearing farwell Thunder Child (2X)
Farewell Thunder Child (2X)

spoken: The steamer-and Carry-are save
But Thunder Child has taken with her
Man's last hope of victory
The Earth belongs to the Martians
